REMARK

It is difficult to use one set of character states to define the genus Phanuromyia as stated by Johnson & Musetti (2003) and Neishem et al. (2017). Molecular studies conducted by Taekul et al. (2014) indicate that Phanuromyia is the sister groups of Telenomus + Trissolcus in addition to other satellite genera. They also concluded that Phanuromyia is a valid genus after including the species of crassiclava group of Telenomus into this genus. The following characters can be used to distinguish Phanuromyia from Telenomus . Generally robust species, eyes either glabrous or with very short setae, frons convex, intersection of malar sulcus with compound eye often perpendicular, T2 generally with striae or reticulations beyond basal foveae; ovipositor frequently long and exserted.
