Oliveira, Caroline Silva Neubern de, Silva, Fabio Laurindo da & Trivinho-Strixino, Susana, 2013, Four new species of Clinotanypus Kieffer, 1913 (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae) from Neotropical region, Journal of Natural History (J. Nat. Hist.) 48 (5 - 6), pp. 317-343 : 318-319

Clinotanypus Kieffer, 1913: 157

Type species. Procladius fuscosignatus Kieffer (1910)

Emended diagnosis

Based on specimens from southeastern Brazil, the generic description of Clinotanypus to pupa ( Fittkau & Murray 1986) must be emended to include the following characters: thoracic horn with basal lobe present or absent.
