Wing veins are needed to ID the subfamilies. Some Diamesinae can look almost identical to Orthocladiine. There's also the other minor subfamiles Prodiamesinae, and Podonominae. I'm not confident IDing Diamesinae if you can't see the wing veins which are used in combination with the fore legs to ID the Chironomidae subfamiles.
