Abstract

Chironomid fauna of Greek Aegean islands, an essential part of the biogeographically important Mediterranean region, is almost unexplored, with only 36 species recorded prior to the present study. It is especially true for Dodecanese islands (6 recorded species). In 2007, chironomid larvae and exuviae were collected in Rhodos, the largest member of the Dodecanese islands. Thirty-four taxa were identified (8 Tanypodinae, 10 Orthocladiinae, 16 Chironominae). None of the previously recorded taxa were found; thus all collected species proved to be new for the fauna of Rhodos. An actualized checklist for the Chironomidae of Rhodos is given based on the literature and results of recent investigations.
