Abstract

The non-biting midges of Montenegro are poorly studied. here we present results from a study of a collection of chironomid larvae from various water courses and lakes: 19 species, 12 morphotypes and 32 genera from Montenegro are recorded for the first time. One previously unidentified larva is described. With the addition of these results, the list of non-biting midges recorded in Montenegro now contains 47 genera, 29 species and 14 morphotypes. The zoogeographical and ecological significance of these new records is discussed.
