Lauterbornia is a genus of midges in the bloodworm family (Chironomidae). Members of this genus live in cold water lakes in stenothermal or limited temperature change areas.[2][3] Lauterbornia coracin is known for inhabiting oligotrophic or nutrient-depleted cold lake waters in the Northern Hemisphere.[3][4]
