AUSTRALIAN CONOPID FLIES—CAMRAS 65 
of the greatest width of the abdomen, as long or longer than the third 
segment, and longer than the fourth segment. 
This genus contains species with a smooth or grooved front, but 
those with a grooved front do not have the projection on the sixth 
tergite of the female as is present in the subgenus Aszconops. 
Two other genera differ from Conops by having an ocellar tubercle: 
Physononops, which has an elongated narrow second abdominal seg- 
ment, and Siniconops, which has a spindle shaped abdomen in the 
male and a cylindrical abdomen in the female.
