Abstract
Here we report the chironomid fauna of Tuvalu for the first time. Four species belonging to two subfamilies were collected on Fongafale Island. At least one species inhabited a freshwater environment. We describe male imagines of Compterosmittia longipalpis sp. n., Pseudosmittia tuvaluensis sp. n. and Pseudosmittia amplexivirga sp. n. We also describe the morphology of Chironomus sp. larvae inhabiting a wet taro swamp.
