Original description

Coniopteryx pygmaea
Enderlein, 1906
Deasia parthenia Navás et Marcet, 1910
Coniopteryx parthenia (Navás et Marcet, 1910)
Note: this species has a long and confusing
taxonomic history that is fully explained in
Aspöck et al. (2001). In short, confusion arose
when the type specimen of Deasia parthenia was
studied and reported to be different from the
type of Coniopteryx pygmaea. This was a mistake,
because the type of Coniopteryx pygmaea had not
been studied directly, but only the published
figures where used for comparison with Deasia
parthenia. This mistake, however, went unnoticed
and so the name "Coniopteryx parthenia" was
thought to be the valid name for the present
species, whereas the name Coniopteryx pygmaea
was misapplied to the species Coniopteryx
hoelzeli. This is the reason why several older
works give the wrong names for these two species
of Coniopteryx.
