Host

Unknown.

Distribution

Brunei, China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hainan, Taiwan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Malaysia.

Remarks

The female holotype of P. collinsi from East Malaysia (Borneo, Sarawak) was not examined and our interpretation is based on the original description. There are 27 females agreeing with the description of the holotype of P. collinsi except for body length (2.6–3.5 mm vs 3.1–3.5 mm for the types), antenna number (44–49 vs 40–43 for the types), metasomal carapace length–width ratio (1.7–1.8 vs 1.9 for the types), temple–eye ratio in dorsal view (0.8 vs 0.5 for the types). There are four males agreeing with the description of P. collinsi .

The female holotypes of P. longieyes and P. picticornis from China were not available and their interpretation is based on the original descriptions and additional Chinese specimens listed above.

Phanerotomella longieyes and P. picticornis are treated as junior synonyms of P. collinsi based on the following key characters: (1) vein m-cu postfurcal; (2) second submarginal cell sessile; (3) eye in dorsal view distinctly protruding; (4) antenna slender and with 40–45 segments; (5) mesopleuron densely and finely honeycomb-sculptured but with smooth area posteriorly; (6) mandible slender.
