Conchopus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.[2][1] It is distributed in Japan, China, Taiwan, the Hawaiian Islands, and Wake Island. The species Conchopus borealis is also an introduced species in North America and South America.[3] Members of the genus live exclusively in the intertidal zone of rocky shores.[1] The genus is sometimes considered a synonym of Thambemyia, but is considered a valid genus by some authors.[4]

Taxonomy and species

Takagi (1965) originally divided the genus into seven species groups. According to Masunaga et al. (2005) and Masunaga & Saigusa (2010), the genus can be divided into two clades: one containing the rectus species group (including the type species), and the other containing all other species groups, for which the authors intended to propose a new genus. The latter clade they also consider to be the sister group of Thambemyia.[5][3]

rectus species group (= Conchopus sensu stricto):

  • Conchopus acrosticalis (Parent, 1937)[6] – Hawai‘i, Maui, Lāna‘i, Moloka‘i
  • Conchopus borealis Takagi, 1965[1] – Japan, North America (introduced), Peru (introduced)
  • Conchopus ciliatus Masunaga & Saigusa, 2010[3] – Hawai‘i, Maui, O‘ahu, Lisianski
  • Conchopus crassinervis Masunaga & Saigusa, 2010[3] – Kaua‘i
  • Conchopus menehune Masunaga & Saigusa, 2010[3] – Kaua‘i, Nihoa
  • Conchopus minutus Masunaga & Saigusa, 2010[3] – Hawai‘i, Maui, Lāna‘i, Moloka‘i, O‘ahu, French Frigate Shoals
  • Conchopus pacificus Masunaga & Saigusa, 2010[3] – Hawai‘i, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Wake
  • Conchopus pudicus Takagi, 1965[1] – Japan
  • Conchopus rectus Takagi, 1965[1] – Japan, China
  • Conchopus sikokianus Takagi, 1965[1] – Japan
