Bryophaenocladius chrissichuckorum
Spooner's Flightless Midge
Bryophaenocladius chrissichuckorum, commonly called Spooner's Flightless Midge, is a chironomid midge endemic to Georgia, United States. Described in 2012 from specimens collected in the late 1990s, this species has only been documented from specific granite outcrop habitats in the Georgia Piedmont region. Its flightless condition represents an unusual adaptation among chironomids.
