Karyotype and COI gene sequence of Chironomusheteropilicornis Wulker, 1996 (Diptera, Chironomidae) from the Gydan Peninsula, Russia.

ABSTRACT: The karyotype features and gene COI sequence of Chironomusheteropilicornis Wülker, 1996 from the Gydan Peninsula are presented for the first time. Nine banding sequences were determined, eight of them hpiA2, hpiB1, hpiC1, hpiC2, hpiD1, hpiE1, hpiF3 and hpiG1 were previously known from European, Georgian (South Caucasus) and Siberian populations. One new banding sequence for Ch.heteropilicornis, hpiB2, was found. The hpiA2 banding sequence was found in all individuals, and this is its second finding after the Georgian population (Karmokov 2019). The hpiF3 banding sequence was found only in the homozygous state. Additional B-chromosomes are absent. The genetic distances (K2P) between Ch.heteropilicornis COI gene sequence from Gydan Peninsula and Norway are 1.1--1.
