description
The identity of this species is based on the original description. The black tibiae are yellow at the base, fitting the Giglio-Tos description of Gyroconops occellatus: " tibiis omnibus medietate basali flavis ". Thompson et al. (in press) list Physoconops ocellatus as a junior synonym of Physoconops parvus. Based on the characters given in the key, Physoconops ocellatus is a distinct species and should be accepted as valid (status rev.).
