Phylogeny and taxonomic revision of all genera of Conopidae (Diptera) based on morphological data Author Gibson, Joel F.

Genera included: Abrachyglossum Kröber, 1919: 142 , Conops , Leopoldius Rondani, 1843: 35 . Uncontroverted morphological autapomorphy: male abdominal tergites 3 and 4 broad and parallel-sided (104). Previous classifications variously included members of Asiconopini , Caenoconopini, Physocephalini , Siniconopini, and Tropidomyiini within Conopini . See diagnoses of each of those respective tribes for means to distinguish them from Conopini . Zimina’s (1960) definition of Conopini includes the following key characteristics: facial foveae present; arista three-segmented; vein R 1 ending near the end of R 2+3 ; basisternum quadrangular. In the present analysis, each of these character states is plesiomorphic to Conopinae ( s.l. ). Smith & Peterson (1987) include no key characteristics of Conopini in their key to Nearctic genera, except that the key characteristics of Physocephala are absent. Species examined – Abrachyglossum capitatum ; Conops flavipes ; Conops vesicularis ; Leopoldius coronatus ; Leopoldius punctatum comb. nov. ( Neobrachyglossum ); Leopoldius signatus .
