REMARK
It is difficult to use one set of character states to define the genus
Phanuromyia
as stated by
Johnson & Musetti (2003)
and Neishem
et al.
(2017). Molecular studies conducted by
Taekul
et al.
(2014)
indicate that
Phanuromyia
is the sister groups of
Telenomus
+
Trissolcus
in addition to other satellite genera. They also concluded that
Phanuromyia
is a valid genus after including the species of
crassiclava
group of
Telenomus
into this genus. The following characters can be used to distinguish
Phanuromyia
from
Telenomus
. Generally robust species, eyes either glabrous or with very short setae, frons convex, intersection of malar sulcus with compound eye often perpendicular, T2 generally with striae or reticulations beyond basal foveae; ovipositor frequently long and exserted.
