Abstract
An annotated list of chironomid species from small reservoirs located in the Republic of Bashkortostan in the basins of Kama, Ural, and Ob rivers is given. The list includes 54 valid species. In addition, data on the abundance of larvae in the studied waters are presented. A total of 60 species of 31 genera from 3 subfamilies, Tanypodinae (5), Orthocladiinae (18), and Chironominae (37), are recorded. The largest number of species is registered in the Sakmara Reservoir. Palearctic species dominate.
