<p lang="en-GB" align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The current study results from the collection of Chironomidae, which began in 1994 and continued until the present time in six biogeographical regions of Alaska, USA. We established that 427 species are currently reported from Alaska, adding 154 new faunistic records and six new species. In this study, we described <em>Chaetocladius (Chaetocladius) kimfrangosi</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>, <em>Chaetocladius (Chaetocladius) mendenhallensis</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>, <em>Chaetocladius</em> (<em>Chaetocladius</em>) <em>tonitrus</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>, <em>Corynoneura palus</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>, <em>Stilocladius keithsomersi</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>, and <em>Paratanytarsus giminilacus</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>. Additionally, we describe the larva of a pupa Roback (1971) thought likely to belong to <em>Krenopelopia narda</em> Roback, 1971, the female of <em>Cricotopus (Paratrichocladius) scaturigineus </em>(Makarchenko &amp; Makarchenko, 2014), and the female and pupa of <em>Heleniella parva</em> Sæther, 1985. For the first time, we provided a checklist of Chironomidae with distributional records from Alaska. </span></span></span></p> <p> </p>
