ABSTRACT. For the Republic of Khakassia and the bordering territory a literary review of the chironomid investigations have been prepared and for the first time data on the fauna and taxonomy of 8 chironomid species from the subfamily Diamesinae are given. Redescriptions and DNA barcoding of 7 species, Diamesa baicalensis Tshernovskij, D. hamaticornis Kieffer, D. khumbugelida Saether et Willassen, D. parancysta Serra-Tosio, D. serratosioi Willassen, Pseudodiamesa aff. nivosa (Gortghebuer) and Sympotthastia takatensis (Tokunaga) by adult males are presented. A total of 15 DNA sequences (658 bp) of partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of 15 samples belonging to 7 species and 3 genera are newly obtained in this study. We also reconstruct phylogenetic tree of Diamesa using obtained sequences and close relatives from Genbank and BOLD systems data.
KEY WORDS: Diptera, Chironomidae, Diamesinae, fauna, taxonomy, redescription, DNA barcoding, Khakassia, Russia.
