The specimens collected were preserved in 70% alcohol, and were individually mounted on slides in gum-chloral medium after dissected. A total of 320 male specimens have so far been examined, and 144 among them were found to be belonging to the subfamily Chironominae, and the rests to Orthocladiinae and Tanypodinae. Those belonging to the first subfamily were further classified into 42 species, among which as many as 24 are described in this paper as new species. It should especially been noted that the species belonging to the 3 genera of Tribe Tanytarsini, Cladotanytarsus, Micropsectra and Tanytarsus, are classified into 10 species, among which Tanytarsus oyamai Sasa, 1979, is the only one previously recorded, and the rests 9 were the new species. It has again been demonstrated that the Shimanto River basin is very rich in the insect fauna and many new species were collected at the present survey., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 40(2). p47-89, 1998}, pages = {47--89}, title = {Studies on the Chironomid Midges Collected on the Shore of Shimanto River in April, 1998. : Part 1.
