Investigation of a large coniopterygid material from Madagascar showed that Coniopteryx (Coniopteryx) madagascariensis Meinander, 1974 is not conspecific with the forms that were described and illustrated later as variations of this insect. This statement was supported also by the examination of the holotype of C. madagascariensis. Coniopteryx (Coniopteryx) angusticauda sp. n., Coniopteryx (C.) evellana sp. n. and Coniopteryx (C.) malgasensis sp. n. are described as new species. These are referring the three different forms, which were erroneously handled as C. madagascariensis. All the three new species belong to C. lobifrons species group, which hithero was known only from the Oriental Region
