Guttipelopia
Guttipelopia is a genus of non-biting midges in the subfamily Tanypodinae, family Chironomidae. The genus is distinguished by distinctive wing pigmentation patterns featuring darkened areas (guttae) on the wing membrane. Taxonomic review has clarified species boundaries, confirming the conspecificity of Nearctic G. multipunctata and Palaearctic G. guttipennis, with G. currani synonymized under the latter. The genus contains three recognized species: G. guttipennis, G. currani, and G. rosenbergi.
