Abstract

Three species of non-biting midges, Microchironomus deribae, Cricotopus (Isocladius) ornatus and Synendotendipes impar, are reported for the first time from the current fauna of Tunisia. All three species were collected close to a lake in a semi-desert area in Gasfa Governorate, Tunisia. Their diagnostic morphological characteristics are illustrated and their current geographical distribution in North Africa is discussed.
