Note: Doubtfully placed in this genus. The specimens are strange, splitting Harnischia and Cryptochironomus on characters. ? Harnischia pe and Cryptochironomus ussouriensis (Goetghebuer) as described by Shilova (1959) will key out at the same point. See latter species for distinguishing characters.
