Abstract

In this study, we report forty-nine cases of Chironomidae larvae living on other animals in Brazilian aquatic ecosystems, including a wide range of hosts, such as hydrozoans, snails, insects and fish. We also discuss some empirical difficulties to establish the ecological interactions between chironomids and their hosts.Neste estudo nós reportamos 49 ocorrências de larvas de Chironomidae vivendo sobre o corpo de outros organismos aquáticos, tais como hidrozoários, moluscos, insetos e peixes, em ambientes aquáticos brasileiros. Nós também discutimos algumas dificuldades práticas para se estabelecer o tipo de interação ecológica entre Chironomidae e seus hospedeiros.
