Stroom, K. T., K. L. Schmude, J. Snitgen, S J. Lozano, T D. Corry, AND J. V. Scharold. NEW RECORDS AND RANGE EXTENSIONS FOR SEVERAL CHIRONOMID GENERA IN LAKE SUPERIOR. Presented at XV International Symposium on Chironomidae, Univ. of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, August 12-15, 2003.
Description:
Recent USEPA investigations of Lake Superior benthos in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan waters have resulted in the discovery of six uncommon genera of Chironomidae. Five new records of genera for Lake Superior and five significant Nearctic range extensions are reported. New records for Lake Superior include the genera Acalcarella, Doncricotopus, Lipiniella, Kloosia, Paracladius. In addition the uncommon genus Protanypus is reported from many additional sites in Lake Superior. Significant Nearctic range extensions are reported for the genera Acalcarella, Doncricotopus, Kloosia, Lipiniella, and Paracladius. This is the first report of Acalcarella from the contiguous United States and the second reports of Doncricotopus, Kloosia, Paracladius, and Protanypus.
