Diagnosis

Phaenoglyphis salicis is mainly characterized by a closed radial cell that is 2.5 times as long as wide; the presence of pronotal and propodeal carinae; the weak presence of notauli; the presence of oval scutellar foveae that are completely defined and with two lines on top (Fig. 7.13); female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F3, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 shorter than F3, and F3 subequal to F4 (Fig. 6.19). It is similar to P. gutierrrezi Andrews, 1978 , but they can be differentiated by flagellomere proportions (F2 is shorter than F3 and F3–F4 are subequal in length in P. salicis (Fig. 6.19), while F2–F4 are subequal in length in P. gutierrezi ) and the shape of the scutellar foveae (completely defined and with two lines at the top in P. salicis (Fig. 7.13), but slightly open at the bottom in P. gutierrezi ).
