Abstract

The generic placement of Tanypus pallens Coquillett, 1902 is changed to Conchapelopia s. str., with a redescription given of the male holotype. As a result Conchapelopia (s.s.) gonoides (Subi.) becomes a junior synonym of Conchapelopia (s.s.) pallens (Coq.). The status of Larsia pallens (Coq.) sensu Roback 1971 with its synonymies are discussed.

Résumé

L'emploi de Tanypus pallens Coquillett, 1902 en tant que générique a été remplacé par celui de Conchapelopia s. str., avec une nouvelle description donnée à l'holotype mâle. Par conséquent, Conchapelopia (s.s.) gonoides (Subi.) devient un synonyme secondaire de Conchapelopia (s.s.) pallens (Coq.). On y traite également de Larsia pallens (Coq.) sensu Roback 1971 et de ses synonymes.
