Abstract

Collections of chironomids have been made in Deep Canyon, a part of the Colorado Desert in Southern California, since 1963. Of the 73 species collected 40 were species new to science. These will be described in later publications. Adults emerged during all months of the year with maximum number of species occurring in June. The fauna is dominated by the Orthocladiinae with 34 species with the Chironominae a close second with 26 species. Of those subfamilies known from North America only the Diamesinae was not represented.
