A new species of Hydrobaenus Fries, 1830 (Diptera, Chironomidae) from Algeria / K. Zerguine, B. Rossaro. - In: ZOOTAXA. - ISSN 1175-5326. - :2507(2010 Jul 16), pp. 37-43.
Abstract:
Hydrobaenus olfa n. sp. from Algeria is described and illustrated as male, pupal exuviae and larva. The new species is
assigned to the genus Hydrobaenus Fries, 1830 according to morphological characters observable in all the three stages,
it is easily separated from all the other known species of the genus because of the high number of anal macrosetae on
anal lobe of pupa; this character state is actually unknown within all the known species of the Hydrobaenus group,
whereas it is observed in other genera within Orthocladiinae as in the genus Propsilocerus Kieffer, 1923. For this reason
the description of the genus Hydrobaenus must be emended. This character gives additional evidence to the phylogenetic
relationships between the primitive genera of Orthocladiinae.
