Three of those samples contained live larvae of the midge Chironomus salinarius.    From Wordnik.com.  [Archive 2007-04-01] Reference

We are not told of nostoc, this time: it is said that the object contained numerous eggs of "some species of Chironomus, from which larvae soon emerged.".    From Wordnik.com.  [The Book of the Damned] Reference

Serious problems of contamination have not been encountered, although occasional infestation of the culture with Brachionus and Chironomus larvae were observed during certain seasons.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 13] Reference

Harlequin-midges (Chironomus) lay unfertilised eggs, which developed into larvae.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Life-Story of Insects] Reference

The Chironomus pupa is usually found in an elongate gelatinous case adhering to a stone.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Life-Story of Insects] Reference

Chironomus and Simulium for example, breathe dissolved air by means of tufts of thread-like gills, which arise on either side of the prothorax.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Life-Story of Insects] Reference

But already Grimm has shown that another fly, a Chironomus, reproduces itself in nearly the same manner, and he believes that this occurs frequently in the Order.    From Wordnik.com.  [XIV. Mutual Affinities of Organic Beings: Morphology-Embryology-Rudimentary Organs. Development and Embryology] Reference

Enabled thus to breathe dissolved air, the Chironomus larva needs not, like the Culex or the Eristalis, to find contact with the atmosphere beyond the surface-film.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Life-Story of Insects] Reference

Many flies are now on the wing, such as Tachina (Fig. 218) and its allies; the four spotted Mosquito, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, and the delicate species of Chironomus, whose males have such beautifully feathered antennæ, assemble in swarms.    From Wordnik.com.  [Our Common Insects A Popular Account of the Insects of Our Fields, Forests, Gardens and Houses] Reference

In the larva of the harlequin-midge (Chironomus) as described by Miall and Hammond (1900) the brain is situated in the thorax, and the imaginal discs for the head, eyes, and feelers of the adult lie in close association with it, though they arise from inpushings of the larval head.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Life-Story of Insects] Reference

Chironomus pupa, the fertile hydroid polype, and the fertile adult queen bee are simply animals in different degrees of organization, and with reproductive systems differing not in quality, but in the greater or less rapidity of their development as compared with the rest of the body.    From Wordnik.com.  [Our Common Insects A Popular Account of the Insects of Our Fields, Forests, Gardens and Houses] Reference

It is the pupa, and not the larva, of the Chironomus which has this power; and Grimm further shows that this case, to a certain extent, “unites that of the Cecidomyia with the parthenogenesis of the Coccidæ, ” the term parthenogenesis implying that the mature females of the Coccidæ are capable of producing fertile eggs without the concourse of the males.    From Wordnik.com.  [XIV. Mutual Affinities of Organic Beings: Morphology-Embryology-Rudimentary Organs. Development and Embryology] Reference

Certain animals belonging to several classes are now known to have the power of ordinary reproduction at an unusually early age; and we have only to accelerate parthenogenetic production by gradual steps to an earlier and earlier age, —Chironomus showing us an almost exactly intermediate stage, viz., that of the pupa—and we can perhaps account for the marvellous case of the Cecidomyia.    From Wordnik.com.  [XIV. Mutual Affinities of Organic Beings: Morphology-Embryology-Rudimentary Organs. Development and Embryology] Reference

The highest degree of acceleration is seen in the reproductive organs of the Cecidomyian larva of Miastor, which produces a summer brood of young, alive, and living free in the body of the child-parent; and in the pupa of Chironomus, which has been recently shown by Von Grimm, a fellow countryman of Ganin, to produce young in the spring, while the adult fly lays eggs in the autumn in the usual manner.    From Wordnik.com.  [Our Common Insects A Popular Account of the Insects of Our Fields, Forests, Gardens and Houses] Reference
