The Nearctic Species of Tendipedini
By Henry K. Townes
University of Notre Dame, 1945
Henry K. Townes, "The Nearctic Species of Tendipedini [Diptera, Tendipedidae (= Chironomidae)]", American Midland Naturalist 34:1-206 (1945). (JSTOR)

This is the most recent revision of the tribe Chironomini as a whole. Some individual genera have been revised since.

The name Tendipes was used for Chironomus in the mid-20th century until a ruling of the International Commision on Zoological Nomenclature restored the traditional name.

Identification manual for the larval Chironomidae (Diptera) of North and South Carolina
By John H. Epler

Epler, J. H. (2001). Identification manual for the larval Chironomidae (Diptera) of North and South Carolina, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality.

Keys to genera of Chironomidae of North and South Carolina, but works pretty well anywhere in the country. Also keys to species for many genera. I use this along with the Chironomidae chapter in Merritt, Cummins and Berg as well as the Wiederholm Holarctic larvae book.
