Diagnosis
Phrenapates fortunaensis Rincon & Smith sp. nov. can be separated from all other known congeners based on the following characters: supraorbital tubercles present, separating this species from P. dux , P. latreillei , P. educator , and P. erratus Rincon, Lumen & Kamiński nom. nov. The supraorbital tubercles are wider than tall, similar to P. bennettii , but different than in P. gilloglyi Rincon & Smith sp. nov. Mandibles with crenulations on inside margin, as well as with an extra tooth as in P. bennettii , which differs from the smooth inner margin of P. gilloglyi . The mentum lacks an apical medial notch, instead possessing a small projection, giving the appearance of a trilobate mentum ( Fig. 2G View Fig ).
