If you're asking whether or not one can infer the return type of `type(Ellipsis)` then yes. 
In such case the inferred type is `builtins.ellipsis`, which is a private stub-only class (see the referenced typeshed issue in my original post).

If you're asking if a valid annotation can be constructed from `type(Ellipsis)` then the answer is unfortunately no (see below for a few examples).

```
EllipsisType = type(Ellipsis)

# Both examples are considered invalid
def func1(a: type(Ellipsis): ...
def func2(a: EllipsisType): ...

```
