Physoconops (Aconops) longistylus (Kröber) View in CoL

Conops longistylus Kröber 1916: 149 View in CoL .

Literature: Kröber (1937, as " Conops longistylus Kröb. View in CoL ").

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.
