The Chironomidae of the exposed zone of Øvre Heimdalsvatn
A total of 67 species of chironomids were caught in emergence traps placed at the shoreline. Additional larval records increase the number of species to be at least 75, a high number of species possibly explained by the exposed nature of the lake, which also provides habitats for lotic forms.
