THE DELIMITATION OF GENERA AMONG THE CHIRONOMIDAE (DIPTERA)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Some aspects of the characterization and delimitation of the chironomid genera are presented. The size and composition of the taxa and different types of splitting are discussed, with examples from Chironomus. Some opinions regarding the practical value of the category subgenus are weighed. Ideas about the relationship between phylogeny and classification are put forward, and some problems concerning the ecological characterization of genera are discussed.
