Chironomidae Larvae, Vol. 1: Tanypodinae: General Ecology and Tanypodinae

Chironomids are a group of non-biting midges, the larvae of which are important in aquatic ecosystems. The authors revised existing identification keys and collected additional information on the biology and ecology of the larvae. Where possible, the identification keys use anatomical characters that are easily observed. An invaluable tool for aquatic ecologists and water quality management.
