Phanerotoma grapholithae Muesebeck, 1933: 50 .

Phanerotoma grapholithae – Fahringer 1937: 518. — Shenefelt 1973: 916. — Zettel 1992: 303.

Diagnosis

Eye 0.9× as long as temple in dorsal view ( Fig. 14B ); first discal cell of fore wing narrowly truncate ( Fig. 14F ); POL as long as diameter of posterior ocellus ( Fig. 14D ); clypeus comparatively transverse

( Fig. 14D ), its maximum width about 2.5× its maximum height; vein r of fore wing almost linear with vein 3-SR; vein 2-SR of fore wing about twice as long as vein r.

Differential diagnosis

Differs from P. fasciata Provancher, 1881 , because P. fasciata has comparatively small ocelli and vein 2-SR of the fore wing slightly curved, but the shape of the clypeus was not indicated by Zettel (1992).
