The genus .i.Chironomus./i. MEIGEN (Diptera, Chironomidae) in the Novohradské Mountains (South Bohemia)
Matěna, Josef ; Matěnová, V.
The occurrence of Chironomus species was investigated in Novohradské Mountains during 1999-2001. Fishponds, running waters and small standing waters of both permanent and astatic characters were included. Larvae were identified cytotaxonomically according to polytene chromosomes of salivary glands. Ch. annularius occurred more regularly in fishponds without fishery management, further species were found only in some of these habitats - Ch. balatonicus, bernensis, obtusidens, parathummi, plumosus, sp. - near muratensis and Ch. (C.) tentans. Organically polluted stretches of running waters were characterized by mass occurrence of Ch. riparius. Ch. luridus and Ch. melanotus were the dominant species of small permanent water bodies, further species found in these habitats were Ch. aberratus, commutatus, dorsalis, holomelas, piger and pseudothummi. Astatic habitats - rainpools were inhabited almost exclusively by Ch. dorsalis.
