The current study presents a comprehensive taxonomic list of the Chironomidae family in Turkey. The research involved an extensive literature review, resulting in the hierarchical classification of 7 out of the 11 subfamilies. The checklist encompasses 408 chironomid taxa belonging to 128 genera. Among these, 5 are classified at the genus level, while 364 are classified at the species level. Furthermore, 17 taxa have been identified as nomen dubium, and 22 taxa have been categorized as species inquirenda. Excluding the n. dub. and sp. inq., the subfamilies contribute the following number of species: Telmatogetoninae (1 species), Podonominae (1 species), Tanypodinae (40 species), Diamesinae (15 species), Prodiamesinae (2 species), Orthocladinae (172 species), and Chironominae (133 species). This checklist serves as a valuable resource for future studies on Chironomidae biodiversity and ecological research in Turkey.
本研究呈现了土耳其摇蚊科的综合分类名录。研究涉及广泛的文献综述，导致对 11 个亚科中的 7 个进行了层次分类。清单包括 408 种摇蚊类分类单元，属于 128 个属。其中，5 个属被分类为属级，364 个属被分类为种级。此外，17 个分类单元被鉴定为可疑名称，22 个分类单元被归类为待确认的种。不包括可疑名称和待确认的种，亚科的物种数量如下：Telmatogetoninae（1 种）、Podonominae（1 种）、Tanypodinae（40 种）、Diamesinae（15 种）、Prodiamesinae（2 种）、Orthocladinae（172 种）和 Chironominae（133 种）。本清单为未来在土耳其进行摇蚊科生物多样性和生态研究提供了有价值的资源。
