Key to known species of Phymastichus View in CoL View at ENA (females)
1 Syntergum without strong step-like carina. The cubital and subcubital setal lines of the forewing distinctly separate until approximately the apex of the trailing edge of the forewing (the longitudinal non-setose region at the very posterior of the forewing extends approximately the entire length of the trailing edge of the wing) (as in Figs 1d View FIGURE 1 ; 3a,d View FIGURE 3 ). Ovipositor not exposed. Coxae of all legs dark, of similar color to body....................................................... P. coffea View in CoL
- Syntergum with strong step-like carina, giving the apex of the gaster a crimped appearance dorsally ( Figs 1a,b,e,f View FIGURE 1 ; 3 h View FIGURE 3 ). Non-setose region at the very posterior of the forewing between the cubital and subcubital setal lines extending between half the length of the wing to the full length of the trailing edge of the wing. Ovipositor exposed or not exposed in dry specimens. Procoxae of similar color to body, meso- and metacoxae distinctly lighter in color than body, metacoxae yellow to translucent white ( Fig. 1a,e View FIGURE 1 )............................................................................................... 2
2 Scale-like sculpture anterior to carina on the syntergum, and posterior to the carina, cuticle covered with a thick tuft of lightcolored setae that extends to or past the end of the gaster ( Fig. 1e,f View FIGURE 1 ). Pedicel yellow to brown, flagellum dark brown. Separation between the cubital and subcubital setal lines becomes indistinguishable at approximately half the length of the forewing, near the distal apex of the retinaculum (the longitudinal non-setose region at the very posterior of the forewing extends approximately half the length of the trailing edge of the wing) ( Fig. 1g View FIGURE 1 ). Ovipositor usually exposed, and flattened laterally, blade-like ( Fig. 1e,f View FIGURE 1 ).......................................................................... P. xylebori View in CoL ( Fig. 1e–g View FIGURE 1 )
- Cuticle smooth both anterior and posterior the carina on the syntergum, and with few setae medially ( Figs 1a,b View FIGURE 1 ; 2a,b View FIGURE 2 ; 3h View FIGURE 3 ). Pedicel usually dark brown, similar in color to body and flagellum though can be lighter in some individuals. The cubital and subcubital setal lines of the forewing may become closer together at the distal apex of the retinaculum, but are distinctly separate until near the apex of the trailing edge of the forewing (the longitudinal non-setose region at the very posterior of the forewing extends approximately the entire length of the trailing edge of the wing) ( Figs 1d View FIGURE 1 ; 3a,d View FIGURE 3 ). Ovipositor usually retracted in dry or alcohol preserved specimens, but if visible thin and needle-like ( Fig. 1a–c View FIGURE 1 ; 2a View FIGURE 2 )....... P. holoholo sp. nov. ( Figs 1a–d View FIGURE 1 ; 2–3 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 )
