title: [Karyotypes of four species of chironomids (Diptera, Chironomidae) from Northern Italy].
abstract: Karyotypes of 4 chironomid species were studied: Cryptochironomus obreptans Walker, Criptochironomus sp., Chironomus plumosus Linnaeus and Stictochironomus rosenscholdi Zetterstedt. All these species belong to the subfamily Chironominae. Each species is characterized by the specific karyotype structure.
