Note
.
Forewing length 4.1 mm (n = 1). This species is indistinguishable from
Philonome rivifera
in superficial appearance. Our DNA-barcoding data show that it is distinct from other congeners from French Guiana and
Philonome clemensella
, and may be genetically closest to
Philonome kawakitai
(Fig. 71). The only specimen of this species has its abdomen missing. Its description is pending until additional specimens are found.
