This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mukherjee, Bindarika, Ghosh, Debjani, Ray, Namrata, Naskar, Atanu, Banerjee, Dhriti (2025): A new species of the genus Xenochironomus Kieffer, 1921 (Diptera: Chironomidae) from India, with a tentative morphological cladistics and world checklist. Zootaxa 5716 (4): 558-570, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5716.4.5, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5716.4.5AbstractA new species of one of the least speciose genera, Xenochironomus Kieffer, is being described from India based on the adult male, namely Xenochironomus rutundus sp. nov. A genetic barcode of the new species and a revised global key to the known males of this genus are provided in this study. Additionally, a tentative cladistic relationship based on morphological data, as well as a world checklist of all species in the genus Xenochironomus Kieffer, 1921 are provided.
