Description:

From John F. Carr (BugGuide, 5/12/2016): There are three Condylostylus species with a tuft of hairs on the tail (males only): caudatus is common in eastern USA; graenicheri is common in Florida and has the last hind tarsomere expanded; and connectans is uncommon in northeastern USA and has a weak tuft of hairs and last hind tarsomere expanded. Females are not easily distinguishable, if at all.

There are 24 records in the project database.
