Remarks

The holotype of P. bicolorata was examined. There are twelve females agreeing with the description of P. bicolorata except for body length (3.0-4.0 mm vs 3.5–3.9 mm for the types).

The holotype of P. gracilimandiblis from China was not available for study and our interpretation is based on the original description.

Phanerotomella gracilimandiblis is treated as a junior synonym of P. bicolorata based on the following key characters: (1) vein m-cu postfurcal; (2) second submarginal cell sessile; (3) scapus and pedicellus in lateral view yellow and distinctly contrasting with dark brown flagellum; (4) occipital carina in dorsal view strongly indented; (5) apex of metasomal carapace less flat; (6) first metasomal tergite distinctly longitudinally striate; (7) vein 1-R1 shorter than pterostigma; (8) metasomal carapace black except first tergite yellow and second tergite medio-basally with yellow spot.
