  • Beschreibung: Cricotopus (Isocladius) subletteorum n. sp. (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae) is described from male and female adults, pupae and larvae collected in California and New Mexico, USA. Several features expanding the previous generic and subgeneric definitions are presented and discussed in terms of their systematic implications. The known distribution and ecology of the species are given, and its potential as a "nuisance" chironomid is evaluated.
