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.
