The Afro–Oriental Genus <i>Yaeprimus</i> Sasa et Suzuki (Diptera: Chironomidae: Chironomini): Phylogeny, New Species and Expanded Diagnoses

Expanded generic diagnoses of all life stages of <i>Yaeprimus</i> Sasa et Suzuki, 2000 (<i>Lunditendipes</i> Harrison, 2000, <b>syn. n.</b>) are given. <i>Yaeprimus tropicus</i> <b>comb. n.</b> is redescribed as an adult based on type mater...
