Abstract

Five chironomid species: Thienemannimyia vitellina (Kieffer, 1916), Orthocladius (Pogonocladius) consobrinus (Holmgren, 1869), Parachironomus danicus, Lehmann 1970, Tanytarsus norvegicus (Kieffer 1924) and Tanytarus smolandicus, Brundin 1947 were recorded in Slovakia for the first time. The pupal exuviae were collected in 2012-2013 from 9 water reservoirs. Details on finding with the notes on distribution and ecology are presented.
