Diagnosis

Phaenoglyphis nigripes is mainly characterized by the absence of notauli and scutellar foveae (Fig. 7.9), and antenna with rhinaria and club shape beginning on F3, F1 subequal to pedicel, F1 longer than F2 and shorter than F3, and F3 shorter than F4 (Fig. 6.15). It is similar to P. laevis Andrews, 1978, but they can be differentiated by the length of the antenna (shorter than the body in P. nigripes but longer in P. laevis) and where the rhinaria begin (on F 3 in P. nigripes (Fig. 6.15) but on F 5 in P. laevis).
