Abstract	The relative importance of natural and anthropogenic factors, especially topographic type, riparian canopy, altitude, temperature and bank protection, on larval chironomid assemblage was investigated in a Japanese basin. To focus on the macro-scale factors, a concrete block, as an artificial substrate, was used for chironomid collection so that sampling regime may be identical among the sites. Partial CCA using sampling month as a covariable revealed that topographic type, riparian canopy coverage, water temperature and altitude were the main factors influencing species distribution. Stempellinella tamaseptima, Polypedilum tamanigrum and five Rheotanytarsus species showed positive, whereas five Cricotopus species showed negative associations with canopy coverage. Some traditional longitudinal zonations of species were still shown. Chironomus flaviplumus and Chironomus yoshimatsui were merely associated with lower reaches. Stepwise multiple regressions of the assemblage indices on the environmental variables were applied. Bank protection and depth showed negative correlations with Shannon diversity H′. Both topographic type and depth showed negative correlations with Pielou equitability J. Topographic type (lower reach) and specific conductance showed positive, while bank protection showed a negative correlation with abundance. Species richness was not explained by any variables. As a whole, topographic type was the most directly related factor to chironomid assemblages.
