Genus Parachironomus Lenz, 1921 View in CoL
The genus has a worldwide distribution with at least 30 species in the Holarctic region and 20 species in the Neotropical region ( Trivinho-Strixino et al. 2010; Epler et al. 2013). The adults of the Neotropical species were revised by Spies et al. (1994). Larvae are found in lentic and lotic water bodies under a wide range of conditions, including leaf miners in submerged macrophytes; they also live in association with Bryozoa or are ectoparasites on other invertebrates ( Epler et al. 2013).
