Data on Buchonomyia thienemanni Fittkau (Diptera: Chironomidae) from Slovakia

Abstract

All known records of Buchonomyia thienemanni Fittkau from Slovakia are summarised below which includes two records from the Žilina Region and one record each from the regions of Levice and Sereď. Bitusik (1987) published the first record of the species for Slovakia from the Rajcianka submontane brook. The species was also found during a study on the longitudinal zonation of chironomid assemblages in the River Hron (Bitusik et al. 2006). Specimens from all localities are based on pupal exuviae collected with drift nets. Details on two previously unpublished records are provided.
