Chironomus novosibiricus Kiknadze, Siirin & Kerkis, 1993 is reported from the Oriental Region based on recent material collected from northern China. The record was confirmed by morphology and the DNA barcode sequence. Detailed redescription of the adult male, and the data on the DNA sequences confirmed that C. novosibiricus is not related to any member of the camptochironomus cytocomplex, but to a modified form of the thummi cytocomplex with relationships to known species from Siberia.
