Abstract

The 50 species of midges reported from Alabama include Pentaneura (Ablabesmyia)aequifasciata, Cricotopus belkini, Nanocladius alternantherae, Tendipes (Cryptochironomus)pectinatellae, T. (C.)directus, Glyptotendipes (Phytotendipes)meridionalis, and 26 other species not previously reported from the State. A key is given to the North American species of Pentaneura, and the immature stages of N. alternantherae and T. (C.) pectinatellae are described.
