 opimus, but these species have a partially reddish abdomen.

The ptilinum and lower front are inflated, but the specimen is not 

 otherwise teneral. 



This species seems related to C. hwangi but has very distinct polli-

Conops (Asiconops) opimus Coquillett 



Conops opimus Coquillett, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 21, p. 329, 1898. 



The specimen from Japan has a black frontofacial mark as docs the

 C. rufijrons of Amboina. The specimens from China referred to 

 rufijrons by Ouchi may be this form. 



Conops izuoshimensis Ouchi, based on a male, is close to this species 

 if not identical. However the wing veins are described as pale 

 yellowish for izuoshimensis. Conops flavonervosus Krober also has
