Female Chironomini. This might be Chironomus tentans Fabricius. It resembles the female of the American sibling species C. dilutus Shobanov.  In his revision of Chironomini, Townes (1945) wrote, "This is a large stout species with conspicuous mesoscutal stripes and dark abdomen. The male has very distinctive genitalia. Usually, the coloration and rather strongly produced middle portion of the pronotum enable one to determine female specimens." |
