First Record of the Genus Conochironomus Freeman (Diptera: Chironomidae) with Integrative Taxonomy of C. tobaterdecimus (Kikuchi & Sasa) from India

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The genus Conochironomus Freeman is recorded for the first time from India. The known species C. tobaterdecimus (Kikuchi and Sasa, 1990) is redescribed and illustrated. DNA barcoding of C. tobaterdecimus is also done. The molecular barcoding infers us that species have a wide range of distribution. Endochironomus effusus Dutta, Majumdar and Chaudhuri, 1994 is proposed here as junior synonym of C. tobaterdecimus. A pictorial key and a tentative phylogenetic relationship of the described species are also given based on known males.
