Description as for the only included species.
Comments.
This genus is described for a single, highly distinctive species. It can be distinguished from other

by the greatly enlarged thoracic and leg bristles (

), the lack of ocellar bristles, presence of a single ocellar bristle, and syntergite 1+2 twice the width of tergites 3–5.
The genus name is formed from a combination of the Greek
photos
(light) and the genus name
Antrops
, in reference to the collection method of the
type
species. It is masculine in accordance with ICZN 30.1.4.3.
