CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Conops aegyptiacus ( Chvála & Smith 1988: 248 ) ; junior synonym of Conops elegans Meigen, 1804 ( Stuke 2016: 522 , 2017: 24 ). REMARKS: Rondani (1850a: 167) described Conopaejus aegyptiacus from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from E. Truqui. Stuke (2016: 522 , 2017: 24 ) assumed that the type has been lost. We found one syntype in this study.
