Chironomoidea genera

Culicoides is a genus of biting midges in the family Ceratopogonidae. There are over 1000 species in the genus, which is divided into many subgenera. Several species are known to be vectors of various diseases and parasites which can affect animals.

The genus Axarus is widely distributed with records from the Holarctic, the Neotropics and Australasia. There are currently five described nearctic species. Erected as a subgenus (Anceus) of Xenochironomus, Axarus was subsequently renamed and elevated to generic status. The Connecticut River in the eastern United States harbors locally dense populations of two Axarus species, both currently undescribed. These populations are interesting in that they are restricted to specific larval habitat (varve clay and sometimes rotting wood) and thus there is genetic structure between populations in the r
