Pseudosmittia sp.

We found only one orthocladiin chironomid in our surveys. We found one specimen in St. Thomas at the University of the Virgin Islands in moss clumps in a concrete drainage on the back of the Classroom Administration Building. Pseudosmittia windwardensis Saether, 1981 is reported from St. Vincent and St. Lucia ( Ferrington and Saether 2011) . Adults are required to make a positive identification. This is the first record of the genus from the Virgin Islands.
