Tibetan Plateau is one of the most typical areas of biodiversity in the world because of its unique environmental and regional units, which breed unique biological communities and concentrate on many unique and rare wild animals and plants. Research on Chironomidae in the Tibetan Plateau is relatively weak. At present, the identification of Chironomidae species mainly depends on male adults, while identification of larvae and pupae is relatively difficult and there is less research on them.
During the investigations of insect diversity in the Tibetan Plateau, larval and pupal stages of Lundström, 1915 and Akhrorov, 1977 were described and illustrated. Matching and identification of larval and pupal stages were based on DNA barcodes. Neighbour-joining trees were reconstructed, based on known and COI DNA barcodes, respectively.
青藏高原因其独特的环境和区域单元，是世界上生物多样性最典型的地区之一，孕育了独特的生物群落，集中了许多独特和珍稀的野生动物和植物。青藏高原摇蚊科的研究相对薄弱。目前，摇蚊科物种的鉴定主要依赖雄性成虫，而幼虫和蛹的鉴定相对困难，对其研究较少。
在青藏高原昆虫多样性调查中，描述并图示了1915年伦德斯特伦摇蚊属和1977年阿赫罗罗夫摇蚊属的幼虫和蛹阶段。幼虫和蛹阶段的匹配和鉴定基于DNA条形码。分别基于已知的和细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）DNA条形码重建了邻接树。
