Tanypodinae View in CoL : Procladiini

The tribe Procladiini , together with members of the Tanypodini , is usually treated as typical tolerant indicators in regional lentic waterbodies. The Procladiini is represented regionally by widespread Procladius , more restricted Djalmabatista and the narrowly distributed Saetheromyia .
