Xenochironomus canterburyensis (Diptera: Chironomidae) an insectan inquiline commensal of Hyridella menziesi (Mollusca: Lamellibranchia)
Larvae and pupae of the chironomid Xenochironomus canterburyensis (Freeman) are recorded for the first time. They are inquiline commensals of the fresh water mussel Hyridella menziesi (Gray) in Lake…
On the biology of Symbiocladius rhithrogenae (ZAVREL, 1924) (Diptera: Chironomidae) from the Chornohora Mts., Ukraine
A metamorphosis of a parasitic chironomid Symbiocladius rhithrogenae (ZAVŘEL, 1924) infesting nymphs of mayflies of the genera Rhithrogena EATON, 1881 and Ecdyonurus EATON, 1868 in a stream of the…
On the evolution of commensalism in the Chironomidae
TLDR
Commensalism is widespread among the Chironomidae and association with large-sized hosts is thought to make the chironomid commensal less vulnerable to a variety of freshwater predators which are in general gape limited.
First Australian record of Chironomid larvae Epizoic on larval Odonata
Epizoic larvae of Rheotanytarsus sp. (Diptera, Chironomidae, Chironominae) were found on larvae of Austroaeschna atrata Martin (Odonata, Aeshnidae, Brachytroninae) from two sub‐alpine mountain…
