Description

CAENOCONOPINI GIBSON TRIB. NOV.

Type genus Caenoconops Anonymous in Imperial Institute of Entomology, 1940: 365. Genus included: Caenoconops. Uncontroverted morphological autapomorphy: vertex triangular in shape with longitudinal grooves (8).

Previous catalogues included Caenoconops in Conopini. The condition of the vertex, the absence of scutellar bristles, the petiolate male abdomen, the notched posterior margin of the eye, and the presence of a characteristic dark anterior/hyaline posterior wing pattern separate members of Caenoconopini from Conopini as presently defined.

Species examined – Caenoconops bicolor; Caenoconops claripennis; Caenoconops friedbergi; Caenoconops rhodesiensis comb. rev. (Conops).
