Abstract

The maxillae and prementa of Trissocladius grandis (Kieff.), Chironomus anthracinus Zett. and a tanytarsine species near Lauterbornia are figured and the fine details of their external morphology are discussed. The results of a review of larvae in other genera in the Chironominae and Orthocladiinae are briefly stated to illustrate the value of these morphological characters in comparisons among higher taxa within the Chironomidae.
