Females do count: Documenting Chironomidae (Diptera) species diversity using DNA barcoding Author Hebert, Torbjørn Ekrem Elisabeth Stur Paul D.

The two species are only represented in our samples by one male and one female , respectively (Fig. 1), but both cluster with conspecific males collected in Churchill, Manitoba, in a larger barcode dataset (not shown). More than 20 Nearctic and about 60 Palaearctic Procladius species have been described ( Murray and Fittkau 1989 ; Roback 1971 ), but the long-needed revision of this genus might result in as many as 40 of the corresponding names falling as junior synonyms ( Murray and Fittkau 1989 ). In the latter context, the identification of our specimen as P. ruris might change as well.
