Diagnosis

Phaenoglyphis heterocera is mainly characterized by rounded scutellar foveae not delimited (Fig. 7.4) and antenna with F1 shorter than pedicel in females (Fig. 6.10), but longer in males, and rhinaria and club shape beginning on F3. It is similar to P. stenos Andrews, 1978 , but can be differentiated by where the rhinaria begin (on F 3 in P. heterocera , but F 2 in P. stenos ) and flagellomere proportions (F1 is shorter

than pedicel and F1–F3 are subequal in length in P. heterocera females (Fig. 6.10), but F1 is longer than pedicel and F1–F3 are not subequal in P. stenos females).
