ItemNo Preview AvailableThe salivary gland chromosomes of chironomus oppositus walker (Diptera: Nematocera)(CSIRO Publishing, 1969-01-01)Chromosome maps for C. oppositus, which are intended to serve as a standard for the genus Chironomus in the Australasian region, are presented. This species possesses the usual four salivary gland chromosomes and the seven arms, named A-G by Keyl (1962), can be recognized. This species has the combination AE, BF, CD, G, corresponding to the pseudothummi group of Europe. The relationship of C. oppositus to European species of the pseudothummi group is not definite as an independent origin of this arm combination is possible. The species is quite polymorphic, 13 inversions having been recognized. The limits of these inversions, with preliminary data on their distributions, are given.

ItemMorphological differences between Chironomus interinctus Skuse and C.paratinctus, sp.nov., with descriptions and a key to the subgenus Kiefferulus (Diptera: Nematocera)(CSIRO Publishing, 1964)Previous cytological studies of material identified as C. intertinctus (Skuse) had shown that two species were present. Subsequently it has been found that the larvae of the two species may be recognized by the shape of the anal gills and the adults by the anterior leg ratios of femur to tibia and basitarsus to tibia. The females may also be recognized by the colouring of the thoracic stripes. C. intertinctus is redescribed and the second species is described as C. paratinctus, sp. nov. The key to the Australian species of the subgenus Kiefferulus is also corrected and the new species included. © 1963, Australian Journal of Zoology.
