Flavipanurgus Warncke, 1972

Flavipanurgus Warncke, 1972: 69. Type species: Panurgus flavus Friese, 1897

Remarks.

No genetic samples were available for F. granadensis (Warncke, 1987) or F. merceti (Vachal, 1910). However, examination of males of these two species shows that they clearly belong in Flavipanurgus : S7 is deeply excavated apicomedially, and the genital capsule has the gonocoxae lacking apical points along with flattened and apically spatulate gonostyli (Figs 31-32 ).

Included species.

Six species, Flavipanurgus flavus (Friese, 1897), Flavipanurgus granadensis (Warncke, 1987), Flavipanurgus ibericus (Warncke, 1972), Flavipanurgus kastiliensis (Warncke, 1987), Flavipanurgus merceti (Vachal, 1910), and Flavipanurgus venustus (Erichson, 1835).
