Trichotanypus hani sp. nov. is a newly described species of Chironomidae found in the Tibet Plateau. It is characterized by the elongated posterolateral heel of the male gonostylus, bifid thoracic horn in the pupa, and 8-10 mandible teeth in the larva. This is the first record of Trichotanypus in East Asia and outside the circum-Arctic area.
Trichotanypus hani sp. nov. is described here based on the male, pupa and larva collected in the Tibet Plateau. The new species is characteristic by the elongated posterolateral heel of gonostylus in the male, bifid thoracic horn in the pupa and 8-10 mandible teeth in the larva. This is the first formal record of Trichotanypus from East Asia, indeed the first far -outside the circum-Arctic area.
