Abstract

In recent years, much progress has been made in Chironomid (Diptera) research in the Mediterranean area. A total of 35 species has recently been collected in 20 ponds located in Numidia, northeastem Algeria with 25 species new to the Algerian fauna. Most species found are widespread in the Palaearctic. Polypedilum nubifer and Tanytarsus formosanus are Panpaleotropical, the former has expanded its range in Europe and recently in the Nearctic; Paratanytarsus mediterraneus is a Mediterranean species.
