Hi,
is this the same like Orthocladius type S in Brooks et.al. 2007 (The Identification and Use of Palaearctic Chironomidae Larvae in Palaeecology)?

It is very similar with your “Cricotopus-Orthocladius indet 2” [Cricotopus salinophilus Zinchenko et al. 2009], I can not find the premandible of present species. I agree with your opinion.
