Combined results from the collection of adults in both habitats indicated that 11 species had continuous emergence from June/July through September/October. Peak emergence for seven species was in July, Procladius sagittalis (Kieffer), Cricotopus rufiventris (Meigen), Chironomus annularis sensu Strenzke Chironomus riparius Meigen, Endochironomus albipennis (Meigen), Microchironomus tener (Kieffer), and Polypedilum (Polypedilum) nubeculosum (Meigen) . One species, Zavrelimyia schineri (Stroble) only emerged in June . Four species, Cricotopus hedayati Namayandeh & Ghaderi, Orthocladius rubicundus (Meigen), Micropsecta atrofasciata (Kieffer), and Tanytarsus ronaki Namayandeh & Ghaderi had late-June/early-July peak emergence (Fig. 5c, e, j, m). One species, Paratanytarsus. natvigi (Goetghebuer) had peak emergence in late June/early July . Life history studies such as this help scientists make a more accurate assessment of species abundance and diversity in this region and improve our ability to utilize them as biological indicators for environmental impacts on aquatic communities.
