Phanerotoma brunneivena van Achterberg, 2021: 26–30 .

Diagnosis

Third tergite of metasoma 1.8–2.0× as long as second tergite, distinctly concave medio-posteriorly in dorsal view ( Fig. 5H ); protuberance of hypopygium of ♀ slender and much longer than its basal width ( Fig. 5E ); ovipositor sheath needle-shaped ( Fig. 5E ); clypeus with three minute teeth medio-ventrally, partly hidden by conspicuous fringe of setae ( Fig. 5D ); head slightly emarginate medio-posteriorly ( Fig. 5B ); face coarsely rugose; penultimate segment 1.4× as long as wide in lateral view ( Fig. 5J ); eye large, 1.7× as long as temple in dorsal view.

Differential diagnosis

Similar to P. acuminata Szépligeti, 1908 , a species reported from Korea and Far East Russia. However, this species has a short triangular prolongation of the female hypopygium (not longer than its basal width), parastigma dark brown, ovipositor sheath less needle-shaped and vein r of fore wing 0.2–0.3× as long as vein 3-SR.
