Description
Phaenochilus kashaya Giorgi & Vandenberg, current article (original description; adult habitus, morphological details, and male genitalia figured).
Phaenochilus punctifrons: Chunram & Sasaji 1980: 481 (provisional ID in a checklist of the Coccinellidae of Thailand) (misidentification); Chunram 2002: 112 (habitus photo) (misidentification), not Weise 1895.
Type material: Holotype, male (USNM); paratypes (14 total), 8 males, 6 females (2, USNM; 2, AMNH; 2, CASC; 2, TDOA; 2, ECMP; 2, EUCJ; 2, IOZB). Type locality: THAILAND: Nakhon, Ratchasima, Sub Tao, N 14°29.45’ E 101°58.60’
Remarks: The broad oval parameres of the male genitalia (Fig. 13) will distinguish this species from congeneric species with a similar yellow to reddish orange or ferrugineus coloration. Phaenochilus kashaya further differs from P. metasternalis in possessing narrow, weakly explanate elytral margins (Figs 5, 27, 32–34), and from P. punctifrons in possessing a more expansive pronotum with the anterior pronotal margins on each side of the emargination subtruncate (Figs 28, 31).
Chunram and Sasaji (1980) tentatively assigned a specimen from Chiang Mai Province to P. punctifrons, and subsequently published a photographic image of a specimen from the same locality in a book on the lady beetles of Thailand (Chunram 2002), but we believe these records to be a misidentification of P. kashaya.
