On the genus Pseudosmittia from continental France. II. Description of P. aina sp. n. (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae)
Joel Moubayed, Peter H. Langton.
The male adult of Pseudosmittia aina sp. n. is described based on material collected in riparian habitats bordering wet meadows of the Dombes (Ain department, SE-France). On the basis of the following common morphological characters with P. tyrrhena Moubayed, 2025 (anal point triangular, inferior volsella double), P. aina sp. n. appears to belong to the

Pseudosmittia mediterranea sp. n., a crenophilous species from Corsica and Lebanon (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae)
Joel Moubayed.
Chironomidae collected by sweep net in riparian habitats bordering cold springs located in western Corsica (Focolara) and Lebanon (upper stream River Orontes) revealed the presence of a new Pseudosmittia species (P. mediterranea sp. n.), which is described as male adult. Based on some atypical morphological characters (unusual shape of: antenna, clypeus, virga, the 3 lobes

On the genus Pseudosmittia from continental France. I. Description of P. beverana sp. n. from the upper basin of the River Bévéra (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae)
Joel Moubayed.
Male adult and pupal exuviae of Pseudosmittia beverana sp. n. are described based on recent material collected in some riparian habitats bordering small springs and streams along the upper basin of the River Bévéra (SE-France). The male adult keys in the brevifurcata-gr, in particular, close to P. carita Ferrington & Sæther, 2011. Atypical morphological characters

On the genus Pseudosmittia Edwards, 1932 from Corsica. I. Description of P. acquavivai and P. tyrrhena spp.n. (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae)
Joel Moubayed.
Male adult of Pseudosmittia acquavivai sp. n. and P. tyrrhena sp. n. are described based on material collected in Corsica. Localities where the type-material of the 2 new species, were captured are: lateral cold springs in western Corsica for the first one; estuarine zone of the River Ostriconi for the second. P. acquavivai sp. n.

Polypedilum (Pol.) guianensis sp. n., a new species occuring in the primary rainforest of French Guiana (Diptera, Chironomidae, Chironominae)
Joel Moubayed.
Male adult of Polypedilum (Pol.) guianensis sp. n. is described based on material composed of adults captured over the canopy of the primary rainforest of Petit-Saut in French Guiana. On the basis of the specific distinguishing characters (inner verticals in 2 rows, caudal margin of frontal area low, widely bilobed; antenna 1250 µm long, terminal

Observation d’Isoperla ambigua (Despax, 1936) dans les Pyrénées (Plecoptera, Perlodidae)
Alexandre Ruffoni, Bertrand Launay.
L’identification du genre Isoperla est souvent complexe. Isoperla ambigua a récemment été découvert dans les Pyrénées à proximité d’Andorre, dans le département des Pyrénées-Orientales sur deux cours d’eau (à plus de 1800 m d’altitude) très proches l’un de l’autre, tous deux affluents de la rivière Ariège. Les caractéristiques morphologiques des spécimens collectés sont rapidement passées

On the genus Einfeldia Kieffer from France. Description of E. aberlencii sp. n. from French Guiana with emendation of four recently described species from continental France (Diptera, Chironomidae)
Joel Moubayed, Peter H. Langton.
Male adult of Einfeldia aberlencii sp. n. is described based on adults captured over the canopy and along the undergrowth of aquatic habitats in the primary rainforest of Petit-Saut in French Guiana. The distinguishing characters (antero-median part of frontal area with a characteristic concavity, frontal tubercles conical, well developed; antenna 11-segmented, 1235 µm long, terminal

On the genus Stenochironomus Kieffer from French Guiana. 1. New records with description of S. hallei sp. n. from the primary rainforest (Diptera, Chironomidae, Chironominae)
Joel Moubayed.
Recent material composed of adults, collected in the primary rainforest in French Guiana, revealed the presence of five species of the genus Stenochironomus. In this paper, S. hallei sp. n. is described as male adult based on material captured over the canopy and the undergrowth aquatic habitats of the primary rainforest of Petit-Saut. On the

Ouvrages recommandés pour la détermination morphologique des imagos de Plécoptères de France métropolitaine en 2024
Alexandre Ruffoni, Bertrand Launay.
Aucun ouvrage de synthèse moderne sur l’identification des imagos de Plécoptères de France métropolitaine n’existe actuellement. Est proposé ici un décorticage de la bibliographie ouest européenne et la définition des ouvrages les plus appropriés à la détermination de cet ordre pour la France métropolitaine. Ce travail est divisé en plusieurs parties, liste des espèces par

Les Athericidae de l’Arc alpin: compléments à l’inventaire national et éléments d’écologie des populations alpines (Diptera)
Pierre Clévenot, Adrien Chassa.
Les Athericidae constituent une famille au nombre d’espèces restreint. La répartition des 4 espèces connues du territoire métropolitain est assez bien documentée, notamment parce que cette famille bénéficie d’un programme d’Inventaire national porté par l’Opie-benthos. Le présent travail apporte des données sur l’Arc alpin français, zone biogéographique pour laquelle les données restaient très parcellaires, ainsi
