Culicoides kalix is a species of midges found in Scandinavia.

[2] The species was first described in March 2015 by Søren Achim Nielsen and Michael Kristensen.

[2] However, the name-bearing types were not explicitly fixed, violating Article 16.4.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).

The species was therefore formally (re-)described in November 2015 by Nielsen, Kristensen and a third author, Thomas Pape.
