Plagiognathus phoradendronae Knight 1929b: 73

(n. sp.).

HOLOTYPE: Male: ‘‘ Chiricahua Mts., Alt. 6200, Ariz., 20 June, 1928, A. A. Nichol’ ’. Deposited in the National Museum of Natural History , Washington, D.C.

Examination of the male genitalia of a paratype male from the collections of the U.S. National Museum of Natural History indicates that this is not a Plagiognathus species. The size and conformation of the body are quite similar to Phymatopsallus , although the genitalia are not of that type (fig. 40).
