Notes: This species belongs to the C. diversicornis group. C. 
meinanderi is similar to C. texana Meinander and C. diversicornis 
Meinander but differs in the shape of the caudal incision of the 
hypandrium. The caudal incision is narrow and slit-like in C. 
meinanderi and rounded in the other two species. 
This species is dedicated to Dr. Martin Meinander. 
Coniopteryx quadricephala new species 
Type: Holotype male; Utah; USNM. 
Head (Fig. 5A-B): Brown. Frons unsclerotized except for a 
median vertical band with four large stiff setae at the ventral end. 
Below it a large curved hook. Hook laterally expanded, somewhat 
flattened until just before tip where it becomes more rounded, 
narrower. Hook almost forms a circle, with the tip close to the base. 
Inner curve of hook with many large, stiff setae; a large patch at base, 
one or two about one third of length of hook from base, and a small 
patch about one third the length of hook from the end. All setae 
converge in center of hook. Vertex of head produced anteriorly to 
form a large shelf-like area, flat on top and square when viewed 
dorsally. Antennae (Fig. 5A-B and Fig. 6F) brown, 24-26 segmented. 
Scape and pedicel longer than broad. First flagellar segment partially 
subdivided with two stiff setae on dorsal side close to proximal end. 
Most distal of these two setae with terminal one third curved 
proximally. Remaining flagellar segments with a smaller, stiff, 
straight seta; one distally slightly curved setae present. Flagellar 
segments with regular hairs in two regular whorls and with scale-like 
hairs at apices. Maxillary palpi with fourth segment greatly enlarged, 
hatchet-shaped with a small area covered with short sensory hairs.
