Abstract: The insect of Chironomidae belongs to complete metamorphosis, and its whole life cycle goes through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Each stage of life has its individual characteristics, which is challenging for the study of Chironomidae insect based on morphology. With the development of molecular technology, it has become a dendency to use DNA sequencing technology for species research, and molecular phylogeny is widely used in the study for animal and plant classification. This study summarized the research progress which are mentioned in molecular phylogeny relative to Chironomidae.

Key words: Chironomidae, molecular phylogeny, gene segment
