A dipteran from south of the Antarctic Circle: Belgica antarctica (Chironomidae) with a description of its larva
Belgica antarctica Jacobs is recorded for the first time from two localities south of the Antarctic circle: Orford Cliff (66°55'S) on the Continental mainland and the Refuge Islands (68°21'S). The larva is described, and measurements of head capsule lengths indicate four instars. The larva...
