It is a new species for the Chironomidae-fauna of Serbia. Information on other chironomid species found in the Palić Lake is also provided. 1 Introduction Balkan Peninsula is one of the last regions in Europe where the aquatic insect fauna is still rel- atively weakly recognized (Sæther & Spies 2011). However, presence of diverse freshwater habitats indicates potentially high biodiversity in the region. One of the countries which still needs better faunistic recognition is the Republic of Serbia. This concerns especially big In- secta families, such as Chironomidae. Fauna Europaea database (Sæther & Spies 2011) lists 90 species recorded from Yugoslavia (including Montenegro). Unfortunately this list is incom- plete and needs revision. However even genera widespread in Europe still wait for confirma- tion of their occurrence. Up to now, from genus Glyptotendipes only G. pallenes and G. cauliginellus from 14 species present in Europe (Sæther & Spies 2011) has been recorded from Serbia. Here we present the first record of Glyptotendipes barbipes from north of the country. 2 Study site and material On 07-08-2008 a number of individuals representing immature stages of non-biting midges were collected from Palić Lake. Palić Lake is natural lake, eolic in origin, situated in the north- ern part of Serbia (autonomous region of Vojvodina), near the Hungarian border, 8 km far from Subotica (46°04'960'' N; 19° 45'694'' E; 98 m a.s.l.) (Fig. 1). It is a shallow lake, typical for the Pannonian plain, mean depth 2 m and max. depth 3,5 m, lake area 3,8 km². Fig. 1 Map of the study site
