We collected a total of 17 species in three subfamilies of Tanypodinae, Orthocladiinae, and Chironominae. Two species Cryptotendipes pseudotener (Goetghebuer, 1922), and Dicrotendipes pallidicornis (Goetghebuer, 1934) are new faunistic records for Turkiye. 11 species were observed for the first time in the Hazar Lake, although they have been reported previously in Turkiye. These include: Procladius (Holotanypus) choreus (Meigen, 1804), Cricotopus (Cricotopus) bicinctus (Meigen, 1818), Cricotopus (Cricotopus) festivellus (Kieffer, 1906), Cryptotendipes pseudotener(Goetghebuer, 1922), Cryptochironomus (Cryptochironomus) rostratus Kieffer, 1921, Dicrotendipes pallidicornis (Goetghebuer, 1934), Polypedilum sp., Polypedilum (Tripodura) bicrenatum Kieffer, 1921, Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) sordens (van der Wulp, 1875), Micropsectra radialis Goetghebuer, 1939, and Tanytarsus sp.en10.51963/jers.v24i3.2295info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChironomidaeNew Faunistic RecordsHazar LakeT?RkiyeWater-QualityIdentificationFaunaArticle24375387Q4WOS:0008929449000012-s2.0-85164916388N/A1167419
