Frontal vitta at base of antennae 1.6 times as wide as fronto­orbital plate anteriorly. Ocellar setae present but fine; outer vertical setae present; inner vertical setae absent. Face black with grey pruinosity. Parafacial black with grey pruinosity, bare, 0.9 times as wide as first flagellomere. Lower margin of face projecting, visible in profile, brown to black with grey pruinosity.

NOTES

The type specimen came from Pandellé's collection, and had been labelled as Alophora pusilla by Pandellé. Phasia pandellei is also found in Hungary, Croatia, Switzerland ( Wallis, Tessin) and Italy (Apennino Bolognese, Campania) ( Herting 1984, Ziegler 1994).
