Taxonomy.

U. Aspöck and H. Aspöck (1990). The species (Fig. 4f View Figure 4 ) is eidonomically similar to Ph. (Aegeoraphidia) biroi , but can be easily differentiated in both sexes by characters of the genitalia. The sister taxon is unknown, and the species has a rather isolated position within the subgenus.

Biology and ecology.

Larvae probably soil-dwelling. Larvae and development unknown. Adults: V, on Pinus brutia and Cypressus sempervivens , in light forests with Quercus , Crataegus etc. in 830-1100 m.

Records on Mediterranean islands

(Fig. 9a View Figure 9 ). Ph. (S.) minois has so far only been found in a few spots near the Omalos Plateau in the west of Crete (Chania). Syntopic Raphidioptera : Phaeostigma (Aegeoraphidia) biroi , Raphidia (R.) ariadne , Fibla (Reisserella) pasiphae .

Biogeography.

Endemic to Crete. Monocentric, (extremely) stationary Cretan faunal element.
