Parachaetocladius akanoctavus is a species of non-biting midge in the subfamily Orthocladiinae of the bloodworm family (Chironomidae).[2] It was first described in 1987 by the Japanese entomologists Manabu Sasa and Yoshitaka Kamimura.[2] A later description of the species was given in 2020 by Namayandeh et al[1] and further redescription of the adult male together with a first description of the pupa and fourth instar larva in 2021 by Russian entomologists, Makarchenko and Yavorskaya.[3]
It is found in Japan,[1][4] and possibly[1] on the Korean Peninsula,[5][4] and in the Russian Far East.[3][4]
