Stenochironomus gibbus (male)? NL
Reindert van Eekelen
Hello,
Yesterday I saw this Chironomid in Nieuwegein (The Netherlands) and I think it might be a male Stenochironomus gibbus. Since most pictures I can find are of females I'm not completely sure though. Can somebody perhaps confirm the ID?

Thanks in advance,
Reindert van Eekelen

According to Borkent's revision, only three species of Stenochironomus are known from Europe: S. hibernicus with pale wings, S. gibbus with a median band and small apical band, and S. fascipennis with a median band and large apical dark band (entering cells r3 and cua1).

The genus is much more speciose in Japan and the Americas.

Thanks for your reply and the information John.
So since this is clearly not hibernicus or fascipennis, it should be gibbus I guess...?

Kind regards,
Reindert
