Philonome sp. View in CoL Fig. 14

Note.

Forewing length 4.1 mm (n = 1). This species is indistinguishable from Philonome rivifera in superficial appearance. Our DNA-barcoding data show that it is distinct from other congeners from French Guiana and Philonome clemensella , and may be genetically closest to Philonome kawakitai (Fig. 71). The only specimen of this species has its abdomen missing. Its description is pending until additional specimens are found.
