SINICONOPINI GIBSON TRIB. NOV.
Type genus Siniconops Chen, 1939: 197 . Included genera: Macroconops Kröber, 1927: 125 , Siniconops . Uncontroverted morphological autapomorphies: patch of bristles on female abdominal sternite 2 (86); apex of male abdomen square (110). While only a male is described and the number of ocelli is not mentioned, the stated similarity to Siniconops maculifrons justifies placement of Macroconops within Siniconopini .
Members of Siniconopini have been previously placed in Conopini . In addition to the two autapomorphic characters, members of Siniconopini can be distinguished from Conopini by the presence of two ocelli and a narrow second male abdominal segment.
Species examined – Macroconops helleri ; Siniconops elegans ; Siniconops microvalvus comb. nov. ( Conops ); Siniconops nigripes comb. nov. ( Conops ); Siniconops sepulchralis comb. nov. ( Physoconops ).
