Abstract
Lipurometriocnemus Sæther (Diptera: Chironomidae: Orthocladiinae) is composed of five species endemic to the American continent. Three new species from Argentina are described and illustrated as males and Austrocladius barilochensis (Edwards) is newly transferred to Lipurometriocnemus. A cladistic analysis of Orthocladiinae placed Lipurometriocnemus as sister group to Metriocnemus van der Wulp. A separate cladistic analysis of Lipurometriocnemus species was also conducted and the results are discussed. An identification key to the adult males of Lipurometriocnemus is provided.
期刊介绍:
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny releases three times per year. Research fields covered are the taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogeny (molecular or morphology-based), historical biogeography and palaeontology of arthropod taxa.
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny is the successor of Entomologische Abhandlungen, formerly published by the Museum of Zoology Dresden, Germany.
