Abstract

Two strange species are described and illustrated here based on adult males collected from China and Malaysia respectively. The combination of conventional diagnostic character states is unusual in both species, and we cannot allocate either into any currently recognized genera. We propose that these represent two new genera in the tribe Chironomini. Here we adopt ‘Chironomini taxon 1’ and ‘taxon 2’ as coded unresolved names for further discussion.
