Summary:New and rare subfossil records of Chironomidae (Diptera) in Poland Subfossil material isolated from the surface bottom sediment cores (length: 40-70 cm) collected in five shallow Polesie lakes was analysed for the presence of subfossil chironomids remains. Amongst the recorded chironomid taxa [Labrundinia longipalpis] Goetghebuer, turned out to be new for Poland, and six taxa are new ([Corynocera ambigua] Zetterstedt, [Microchironomus] Kieffer, [Propsilocerus] Kieffer, [Stempellina] Thienemann and Basse, [Stenochironomus] Kieffer, [Zavreliella] Kieffer) or rare ([Lauterborniella agrayloides] Kieffer, [Limnophyes] Eaton, [Parakiefferiella] Thienemann) for Lublin Polesie. The paper presents ecology and distribution of the taxa, as well as the age of the sediment layers in which they were found.
