Dixa
Dixa is a genus of non-biting midges in the family Dixidae, established by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution, with species recorded across Europe, North America, and other regions. Species-level taxonomy within Dixa has been subject to recent revision, with several new species described from North America and taxonomic confusion resolved for historically problematic names such as D. modesta. Larvae develop in aquatic environments, particularly lotic (flowing water) habitats.
