Remarks
The two new species described below under
Philipsalta
are placed in this monotypic genus because their morphological characteristics fit many of the characteristics listed in the description of the genus given by
Lee et al. (2016)
, which are as follows.
Body tiny. Postclypeus rather flat ventrally. Pronotal collar very narrow, not dentate. Wings hyaline without infuscation. Fore wing cubital cell spacious, about as broad as medial cell. Hind wing with six apical cells. Male operculum small, not reaching posterior margin of sternite II. Male abdomen triangular in dorsal view, longer than head and thorax together. Timbal cover absent. Timbals not extending below wing bases ventrally. Pygofer ovate with triangular dorsal beak in ventral view. Upper lobe of pygofer present. Dorsal beak triangular. A pair of clasper-like processes protruding downward.
