Chironomus species R&S

Possibly conspecific with C. circumdatus, or C. ramosus, depending upon whether there is a nucleolus on arm G.

Adult, Pupa and Fourth instar larva not described.

Cytology: No nucleolus in arm G, but possibly a nucleolus in both chromosomes I (on arm C) and II.   The photographs are very poor but consistent with this being C. circumdatus if the small nucleolus in arm G was not able to be discriminated. Alternatively, if there is no nucleolus on arm G, it could be C. ramosus.

Found:    India - vicinity of Ujjain and Gwailor (abt. 23.20°N, 76.00°E), Madhya Bharat, India.

From various papers by H.S Rathore and H. Swarup from 1980-1982, which refer to a chromosome map in a Ph.D. thesis of 1979.
