Description
Phaenochilus flaviceps Miyatake 1970b: 111 (original description; morphological details and male genitalia figured).
Type material: Holotype, male (BPBM); paratype, female (BPBM). Type locality: “ Coimbatore, Madras State, South India.”
Remarks: This is one of three known Phaenochilus species with black to piceous elytra, and the only one of that coloration known to occur in India. It differs from P. ruficollis in having the median part of the pronotum black instead of red, and from P. mikado in having the basal lobe of the male genitalia (Fig. 9) with a sharply pointed median apical projection, and the parameres spoonshaped. It resembles Chilocorus nigritus (Fabricius), but differs in possessing the slender terminal article of the maxillary and labial palpi, narrow frons, and elongate basal tooth of the tarsal claw.
