 It is close to Chironomus. It looks like the superior volsellae are swollen at the base. Some of the species with that character have been moved in and out of Chironomus over the years.

Hello, I'm looking for literature on chironomid larvae that are able to survive after being entrapped in ice for at least several days . So far I've only found literature on Eretmoptera murphy
