The Conopidae of Costa Rica (Diptera) (Part 1: Conopinae – Conopini & Tropidomyiini) Author Stuke, Jens-Hermann Author Skevington, Jeffrey H. text Zootaxa 2007 1528 1 40 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.273851 91e318c7-d881-4379-bced-1d8b63355d41 1175-5326 273851 Physoconops ( Pachyconops ) rufipennis (Macquart) [comb. nov.] Conops rufipennis Macquart 1844 : 167 . Literature: Camras (1955, record from Costa Rica marked with a "?") ; Kröber (1937) . The type of Conops rufipennis Macquart, 1844 was examined. The specimen does not fit in the concept of the subgenus Kroeberoconops Camras, 1955 because the flagellum is longer than the pedicel. The specimen belongs in the subgenus Pachyconops ( comb. nov. ). We haven’t seen Costa Rican specimens of this species so the occurrence of Physoconops rufipennis in Costa Rica remains doubtful. The subgenus Kroeberoconops now only includes two species – Physoconops ( Kroeberoconops ) hermanni (Kröber, 1915) and Physoconops ( Kroeberoconops ) argentinus Camras, 2004 . The distribution of this subgenus is restricted to Argentina and it is unlikely that Kroeberoconops occurs in Costa Rica .
