Description
(Figs. 29, 30, 33)
The genus Parachironomus is widespread, but it is never abundant in the region: no species was found in Sulawesi by Ashe (1990). Parachironomus tobaquartus Kikuchi & Sasa (1990) was described in the adult stage from Lake Toba, Sumatra.
Two species occured as larvae in post-tsunami pools and both belong to the arcuatus group (Pinder & Reiss, 1983) having simple SI setae and a convex mentum with dark teeth. One is identical to P. ‘K1’ (Cranston, 2000) reported from northern Australia, having numerous small teeth laterad to a typical mentum (Fig. 30). This larval type was found only on three consecutive sampling occasions at one site (Hard Klong Luang) in Krabi. The other, a single individual from a dilute and unimpacted pool, differs in having a typical mentum for Parachironomus but with very narrow ventromental plates and a strongly scalloped anterior margin (Fig. 33).
