Abstract

The pupal exuviae of the European species Chironomus (Camptochironomus) tentans (Fabricius) andC. (C.) sp. (pallidivittatus auctt.) (Diptera, Chironomidae), are redescribed. Selected characters are discussed and a tentative key for the delimination of the subgenus Camptochironomus and for the determination of these species is presented. The lectotype designation of C. (C.) tentans is confirmed.
