Editorial XVII International Symposium on Chironomidae, July 5-10, 2009, Tianjin, China It must be the dream of many people in the world to visit China and for us this dream came true: China is awesome and the XVIIth International Symposium on Chironomidae was a real joy to attend. Our hosts, Xinhua Wang, Wei Liu and their student helpers turned themselves upside down to make us at our ease and have the program run smoothly. Nothing seemed too much for them: they were the perfect hosts. The Symposium began on the Sunday evening with a social gathering that brought together long standing researchers and students in the Chironomidae in a relaxed and convivial environment. A very enjoyable event with 60+ delegates from every biogeographical region except the poles - a lot to catch up on and new contacts to make. It was unfortunate that the distances involved and the recession meant that some previous symposium participants were unable to attend, but this venue opened up the conference to far eastern colleagues, so fulfilling one of the Symposia’s roles of gathering together, in dialogue, chironomid researchers from across the world. The scientific programme started at 9.00 the following morning in a spacious new lecture theatre in the new Building of the College of Life Sciences with a short inauguration ceremony, followed by the Thienemann Honorary Lecture, an excellent and polished delivery by Jon Martin entitled “From bands to base pairs: Problems in the identification of <strong>Chironomus</strong> species, using the example of <strong>Chironomus</strong> oppositus Walker.” Then the series of oral communications commenced, 29 papers authored and co-authored by about 60 researchers. Papers covered morphology, molecular phylogeny, karyology, systematics, ecology and biogeography; equally diverse were the ages of those giving the talks: from 16 to 70+! An outstanding array of posters embellished the walls of the large airy foyer to the lecture theatre, where delegates browsed and discussed the submissions at break times while consuming many lychees! The program and abstracts can be viewed on the symposium website: http://entomology.nankai.edu.cn/17chiro. For one (Peter) who has been studying these insects for half a century, there was much to marvel at and a question to ponder: will the use of DNA sequences to clarify relationships and delineate species reduce the opportunities for biologists without such facilities/techniques to contribute to progress in the Chironomidae? The Symposium banquet was held in an astonishing restaurant: a massive greenhouse containing a tropical jungle of mature trees and palms under which the tables were distributed. In the centre of each circular table was a turntable, to which were added time and time again new dishes to try: a really exotic gustatory experience in an equally exotic environment. Through this ‘jungle’ flows a stream populated by large Koi Carp and a lagoon that contains seals which add a touch of the incredulous to the already fantastic venue. On the Wednesday we were taken on a river boat cruise of the Hai He river that runs through Tianjin. Although the skim net was in the water for the duration, no exuviae were obtained, presumably due to the mid summer pause in emergence. This was a great way to see outstanding examples of the architecture of modern Tianjin and of the many 3
