Physoconops
(
Aconops
)

(Kröber)
Conops longistylus

Literature:
Kröber (1937, as "
Conops longistylus
Kröb.
")
.
The four nominal species of
Aconops
belong to three valid species. These three species of the subgenus
Aconops
cannot be determined using existing keys. The characters used by
Camras (1955)
are not suitable to distinguish the species. We haven't seen any specimens of this subgenus from
Costa Rica
and therefore the occurrence of
Physoconops longistylus
in
Costa Rica
remains questionable, because it is possible that Kröber confused his "
Conops longistylus
" with other similar species.
