Type-species. Phlogis mirabilis Linnavuori, 1979. Diagnosis . Head ( Figs 4-7 ) distinctly but finely punctate; lateral frontal sutures distinct, but not carinate; frontoclypeus evenly convex, without median or transverse carinae, in profile continuing contour of anteclypeus; genae bare. Notes. Phlogis was originally described based on the single female type specimen of Phlogis mirabilis from Cameroon ( Linnavuori 1979 ). The genus is readily distinguished from Chouious based on the head morphology, as indicated in the key. Three new specimens are herein studied and assigned to this genus, including a male considered to be conspecific to Phlogis mirabilis and undescribed females from the Oriental region. Distribution. Afrotropical: Cameroon ( Linnavuori 1979 ) and Central African Republic [ new record ]. Oriental: Malaysia [ new record ] and Thailand [ new record ].
