When I said Procladius s. str. earlier I meant Procladius (Holotanypus). I was using the old name for the subgenus (split by Roback 1982, if I recall correctly).

The North American Holotanypus, which includes some holarctic species, are dull gray with very slight contrast.

The common species of Psilotanypus is highly variable in color from yellow to black.

The number of flagellomeres of the female is variable in some American species.
