Comments
. No reliable association can be made at this stage of the female
holotype
of
Coniceromyia grenadensis
with any males —as also happens with other
Coniceromyia
species with female
holotypes
. Hence, this species remains without diagnostic features. This is the oldest
Coniceromyia
species described and is potentially the senior synonym of one of many of the species described more recently.
