Subfossil chironomids from Kamchatka
Abstract
Chironomid head capsules from surface sediments in Kamchatka reflect a rich and diverse fauna. We observed a relatively high abundance of head capsules from the subfamily Diamesinae. An unknown morphotype of Tanytarsini, 'Tanytarsini type klein', was found in the lake sediments of two lakes from Central and southern Kamchatka.
