Abstract
Two species, Chironomus maturus Johannsen and Chiron- omus whitsell Sublette and Sublette, having the chromosome arm combination AF, BE, CD, and G, are described. An evolutionary relationship to an ancestral group of the thummi- and pseudothummi- complexes as well as the parathummi-complex is postulated.
