Description as for the only included species.
Comments. This genus is described for a single, highly distinctive species. It can be distinguished from other Archiborborinae by the greatly enlarged thoracic and leg bristles ( Fig. 10), the lack of ocellar bristles, presence of a single ocellar bristle, and syntergite 1+2 twice the width of tergites 3–5.
The genus name is formed from a combination of the Greek photos (light) and the genus name Antrops , in reference to the collection method of the type species. It is masculine in accordance with ICZN 30.1.4.3.
