ABSTRACT. Data on the Chironominae fauna of the Komsomolskii Nature Reserve are presented in the form of an annotated list of species based on the study of imaginal material. The rivers and reservoirs of the reserve support 57 species of 27 genera and 2 tribes. During this study, 3 new species were discovered from the genera Demicryptochironomus Lenz, 1941, Stenochironomus Kieffer, 1919 and Tanytarsus van der Wulp, 1874, 39 species were reported for the first time for the Komsomolskii Nature Reserve. Most of the 49 identified species (28 or 57 %) have a Palaearctic distribution and 21 species or 43 % have a Holarctic distribution. The greatest diversity of non-biting midges of the subfamily Chironominae was recorded in an unnamed stream on the left bank of the Gorin River — 29 species, in the Gorin River — 23 species, and in the Baturina River — 19 species.
