The Rheotanytarsus guineensis species group (Diptera: Chironomidae) is a species diverse and taxonomically difficult group. Using DNA barcodes, we found five new species within the R . guineensis species group and reviewed the species group based on adult males from China. Rheotanytarsus guoae Lin &...
