Host

Distribution

China (Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Zhejiang).

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.
