Collections of adult chironomids were conducted by H. Suzuki at 5 localities in southwestern Hokkaido in September, 1997, by M. Sasa in the Aizu area, Fukushima, in October, 1997, and by K. Kamimura in Aomori Prefecture in August 1997, by using light traps at night or by sweeping with insect net during daytime. The species identification was made after the specimens were individually mounted on slides in gum-chloral medium. In Hokkaido, 9 species were identified with specimens collected in the campus of Hokkaido University, 16 species including 5 new species at Ginzan, 14 species including 5 new species at Misumai, 8 species including 2 new species at Kyogoku, and 4 species at the foot of Mount Tarumae. In the Aizu area, 2 species were identified with specimens collected on fluorescent lamps at Koriyama, 4 species, including a species belonging to Protanypus, a genus new to Japan, were collected on the shore of Lake Inawashiro and another 4 species, including a new species of a new subgenus, Pseudosmittia (Hibarasmittia) hibaraundecima, were collected on the shore of Lake Hibara. In Aomori Prefecture, 2 species, including a new species of genus Macropelopia, at Sukayu, 2 species at Asamushi, and 3 species at Fukaura, including a new species of genus Tanytarsus, were identified.
