 Hi All. I am unsure if this is a Chironomid. And if so, any idea on the subfamily? This individual was collected in Mammoth Lakes, CA in June. It is 3.1 mm.

 Subfamily Chironominae -- gonostylus fused to gonocoxite instead of folded in.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
