Karyotypes and larval morphology of three species of midges (Diptera, Chironomidae) from lakes in the southern part of Kunashir Island

Karyotypes of polytene chromosomes and larval morphology are described for three chironomid species from Kunashir Island (the Far East of Russia): Nilothauma sasai Adam et Saether, 1999 (2n = 8), Demicryptochironomus gr. vulneratus (Zett.) (2n = 6) from Lake Lagunnoe and Polypedilum (Uresipedilum) g...

Zusammenfassung:Karyotypes of polytene chromosomes and larval morphology are described for three chironomid species from Kunashir Island (the Far East of Russia): Nilothauma sasai Adam et Saether, 1999 (2n = 8), Demicryptochironomus gr. vulneratus (Zett.) (2n = 6) from Lake Lagunnoe and Polypedilum (Uresipedilum) gr. cultellatum Goetghebuer (2n = 8) from Lake Goryachee. Karyotypes with B-chromosomes were found in some specimens of N. sasai.
