We provide illustrated dichotomous keys for the identification of final (4th) instar larvae of south-east Asian genera of Chironomidae (Diptera), predominantly from aquatic (freshwater and maritime) habitats. The region considered comprises oriental China, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia (west and east), Brunei, Singapore and Indonesia. Eight subfamilies are represented and phylogenetically validated tribes are keyed. Terminal taxa, listed in the sequence used in this guide, comprise 28 genera of Tanypodinae, 71 of Chironominae, 2 of Podonominae, 1 of Buchonomyiinae, 8 of Diamesinae, 2 of Protanypodinae, 5 of Prodiamesinae, 2 of Telmatogetoninae and 61 of Orthocladiinae. The morphology terminology is standard for larval Chironomidae to which users are referred. Illustrations of selected features are provided as photographs with important details labelled. Short summaries of ecology and concise details of selected species and regional / global distribution are provided in brackets under each entry. Some suspect new synonymy is alluded to, but will be addressed formally in more detail elsewhere.
我们提供了带插图的双歧检索表，用于鉴定东南亚摇蚊科（双翅目）属的末龄（第4龄）幼虫，这些幼虫主要来自水生（淡水和海洋）栖息地。所考虑的区域包括中国东部、缅甸、泰国、马来西亚（西部和东部）、文莱、新加坡和印度尼西亚。文中涵盖了8个亚科，并对经过系统发育验证的族进行了检索。终端分类单元按照本指南中使用的顺序列出，包括28个摇蚊亚科属、71个摇蚊亚科属、2个长跗摇蚊亚科属、1个布氏摇蚊亚科属、8个直突摇蚊亚科属、2个原摇蚊亚科属、5个原直突摇蚊亚科属、2个沼摇蚊亚科属和61个正摇蚊亚科属。形态学术语是摇蚊幼虫的标准术语，供使用者参考。所选特征的插图以照片形式呈现，并标注了重要细节。每个条目下方的括号内提供了生态简要概述以及所选物种的简要详细信息和区域/全球分布。文中提及了一些可疑的新同义关系，但将在其他地方更详细地正式探讨。
