Description	We analyzed the response of Synorthocladius semivirens (Kieffer, 1909) abundance to hydraulic conditions in two rivers using regression analysis. Unimodal and linear regression models of the response were obtained for the Svratka and for the Bečva respectively. The possible causes of the different chironomid responses are discussed, however further measurements are needed to confirm or reject the hypotheses.
