Genus Condylostylus Bigot View in CoL View at ENA
Bickel (1994) associated the genus with the tribe Sciapodini . Grichanov & Brooks (2017) provided a key to all Afrotropical genera of the subfamily and diagnosed Condylostylus as follows: head with frons of both sexes with raised setulose mound bearing strong vertical seta; antennal arista-like stylus dorsal to dorsoapical; pedicel with long dorsal and ventral setae; legs with femora lacking anterior preapical setae; male hind tibia without callus; wing, often with dark brown fasciae; vein M 2 present even as a fold; vein M 1 beyond M 2, usually sharply recurved basally; 2 pairs of long scutellar setae; male terminalia with hypopygium often rather small. Twenty-five species of Condylostylus are known from the Afrotropical Region. Males usually have modified and ornamented podomeres and sometimes wings (male secondary sexual characters or MSSC). Females of closely related species are generally indistinguishable morphologically.
