First record of the Pseudodiamesa branickii species group (Diptera: Chironomidae: Diamesinae) from central Mexico

Larvae and pupae of the Pseudodiamesa branickii species group (Makarchenko and Makarchenko, 1999) (Diptera: Chironomidae) were found in 2 high-altitude lakes (El Sol and La Luna, 4,200 m asl), in the crater of the Nevado de Toluca volcano, in central Mexico. This is the first record of the genus in...

description Larvae and pupae of the Pseudodiamesa branickii species group (Makarchenko and Makarchenko, 1999) (Diptera: Chironomidae) were found in 2 high-altitude lakes (El Sol and La Luna, 4,200 m asl), in the crater of the Nevado de Toluca volcano, in central Mexico. This is the first record of the genus in Mexico, and its southernmost report from a location that represents a transitional zone between the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. New information on the ecology and biogeographical distribution of the species group is given.
