Abstract: The cytotaxonomic characteristics of two species of the Chironomus genus from Lake Łuknajno (northwest Poland) were determined: Chironomus nuditarsis Strenzke, 1959 with the chromosome arm combinations of AB, CD, EF, and G (the “thummi” cytocomplex), and Camptochironomus tentans (Fabricius, 1805) with the chromosome arm combinations of AB, CF, DE, and G. A heterozygous inversion in arm F of the Chironomus nuditarsis chromosomes was detected. The polymorphism of Camptochironomus tentans as a homozygous inversion in arms A and E and a heterozygous inversion in arm F were revealed.
