Abstract
Larval morphology and karyotype characters of Chironomus sp. from Yuzhnyi Island of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago (70°32'N, 55°10'E) are described. This species is close to Ch. tuvanicus described from Tuva (Siberia, Russia) and belongs to the riihimakiensis group. Its chromosome set is 2n = 6: AB, CD, FEG, with the latter chromosome produced by joining of the small chromosome G with arm E. The studied Chironomus sp. has an Arctic distribution and is a primitive member of the genus.
