Abdomen greenish with saddle spots. Legs greenish, only hind tarsi present and darkened. Thoracic setae: Acrostichal not obvious; dorsocentral about 10 +; prealar 6, 7; supraalar 1; scutellum with a posterior row of about 10 setae, anteriorly with about 4 setae. Wing with anterior veins hardly darker than posterior, crossvein only slightly darkened. R 4 + 5 ends slightly proximal to M, at 0.08 of the distance between Cu 1 and M. R 2 + 3 evanescent at tip, ending 0.34 of the distance between the apex of R 1 and R 4 + 5. Anal ends distal to f-CU, at 0.61 of the distance between f-Cu and apex of Cu 2. Anal lobe well developed, right angled. Wing length 4.56 mm, width 0.96 mm; 4 SCf on stem vein, squama fully fringed .. Legs: Many tarsi missing, only one of the hind legs complete, so only the hind LR able to be calculated; Available leg lengths (mm) and proportions in Table 1. Abdominal segment TIX and hypopygium (Fig. 1): about 6 setae in individual pale areas near centre of TIX. SVo closest to D (e) of Strenzke (1959). IVo reaching only about half way along the anal point, with simple setae. Anal point long and slightly broadened at distal end, reaching about 2 / 3 of length of the gonostylus which is moderately broadened and narrows relatively gently over distal third.	en	Martin, Jon (2024): Redescription of the type specimen of Chironomus oppositus Skuse, 1856.
