Chironomus (Chironomus) plumosus larval type

( Fig 6 F–I)

Material examined. Narrows, 1 larva, 2. –10.ix. 1969; North Basin, 1 larva, 2. –10.ix. 1969. Only two larvae of C. plumosus type were found. They are, however, too small to belong to C. plumosus (L.), but could for instance belong to C. atrella found in the North Basin.
