Corynoneura, Edwards

Makarchenko, Eugenyi A. Makarchenko Marina A. & Semenchenko, Alexander A., 2019, Towards the taxonomy of Corynoneura Winnertz (Diptera: Chironomidae: Orthocladiinae) from the Russian Far East and Eastern Siberia, Zootaxa 4612 (2), pp. 221-236 : 226

Corynoneura “ carriana ” Edwards sensu Makarchenko & Makarchenko

Corynoneura carriana Makarchenko & Makarchenko 2010: 358 , Figs. 6–10 .

Remarks. We agree with Dr. Lauri Paasivirta (pers. comm.), believing that the C. “ carriana ” specimens from Baikal Lake with 6 flagellomeres antenna belong to the local aberrant population of this species which is closely related to male of Finnish endemic species C. gynocera Tuiskunen ; however, their hypopygia clearly differs, namely by size and shape of the superior volsella ( Tuiskunen 1983). An additional material on C. “ carriana ” in Baikal Lake is expected to be collected and performed using the DNA-barcoding, after which it will be possible to evaluate the individuals from this population.

Distribution. Known only from Baikal Lake.
