M. Hirvenoja 1997: Delimitation of the pupae of the European species of the subgenus Camptochironomus (Diptera, Chironomidae). - Entomologica Fennica 8: 215-218.

The pupal exuviae of the European species Chironomus (Camptochironomus) tentans (Fabricius) and C. (C.) sp. (pallidivittatus auctt.) (Diptera, Chironomidae), are redescribed. Selected characters are discussed and a tentative key for the delimination of the subgenus Camptochironomus and for the determination of these species is presented. The lectotype designation of C. (C.) tentans is confirmed.
