Phrenapates gilloglyi Rincon & Smith sp. nov. can be separated from all other known congeners based on the following characters: supraorbital tubercles present, separating this species from P. dux, P. latreillei, P. educator, and P. erratus Rincon, Lumen & Kamiński nom. nov. Supraorbital tubercles with a height greater than or equal to the width, separating them from P. bennettii and P. fortunaensis Rincon & Smith sp. nov. Clypeal horn ending in three points, unlike the smoothly tapered horn in P. ohausi. Mandibles with no crenulations or teeth on inside margin, which differs from P. bennettii and P. fortunaensis. Mentum with apical notch, unlike in P. fortunaensis or P. bennettii.
The species is named after the passalid taxonomist Dr Alan Gillogly for his donation of specimens and valuable insight.
