| Summary: | (9) Telmatogeton japonicus Tokunaga, 1933 Status in U.K. – non-native. Larvae of non-biting midges, Chironomidae, have been consistently recorded from samples throughout the monitoring programme but they are not identified to species since pupae or adults are usually required to provide a definitive identification. The non-native Telmatogeton japonicus was recorded in Co. Clare, Ireland in 1999 by Murray (2000) and in Wales by Murray (2013). Langton and Hancock (2013) provided records of two Telmatogeton species from Scotland: T. japonicus from St Kilda and the closely related T. murrayi Saether, 2009 from Shetland. This latter species was described from Iceland based on material originally identified as T. japonicus by Murray (1999) but the taxonomic status of the species is uncertain and requires investigation (D. Murray, pers. comm.). Telmatogeton japonicus was first recorded in Orkney in 2015 by L. Johnson (identity confirmed by P.H. Langton), based on adult specimens. Pupae from scrape samples collected ... : Published as part of Kakkonen, Jenni E., Worsfold, Tim M., Ashelby, Christopher W., Taylor, Andrea & Beaton, Katy, 2019, The value of regular monitoring and diverse sampling techniques to assess aquatic non-native species: a case study from Orkney, pp. 46-79 in Management of Biological Invasions 10 (1) on page 60, DOI: 10.3391/mbi.2019.10.1.04, http://zenodo.org/record/11969078 ... |
