Abstract

Discovery of new external structures permit easier separation of species of Phymatocera for both sexes. A key is given and a phylogeny is reconstructed for all species. The name P. rusculla (MacGillivray) is a junior synonym of P. offensa (MacGillivray).

Résumé

La découverte de nouveaux caractères externes permet de reconnaître plus facilement les espèces de Phymatocera des deux sexes. Je présente un tableau et une phylogénie des espèces. P. offensa (MacGillivray) devient un synonyme plus récent de P. rusculla (MacGillivray).
