Abstract: Phanerotomella apetila Chen & Ji, 2003 Figs 5–6 Phanerotomella apetilus Chen & Ji, 2003: 180–182, 229–230. Diagnosis Metasoma narrowing to apex and position of maximum width at basal half (Fig. 6K); apex of metasomal carapace truncate in dorsal view (Fig. 6K); antenna of female hardly widened medially (Fig. 6D), with 12–14 subapical segments moniliform and 24 th –27 th segments suddenly wider than long while other segments longer than wide (Fig. 6E); temple smooth and shiny (Fig. 6C); mesopleuron punctate and with distinctly smooth and shiny area posteriorly (Fig. 6J); metasoma in lateral view flat (Fig. 5); second submarginal cell sessile and distinctly narrowed anteriorly (Fig. 6G); temple in dorsal view narrowed behind eye (Fig. 6A); mandible slender and inner tooth of mandible 0.4× as long as apical tooth (Fig. 6F). Material examined (4 ♀♀, 1 ♂) CHINA – Fujian • 1 ♀; Fuzhou; 28 Oct. 1981; Jiandong Wang leg.; ZJUH No. 20003756. – Zhejiang • 1 ♀; back entrance of West Tianmu Mt.; 3 Jul. 1998; Mingshui Zhao leg.; ZJUH No. 20000173. – Guizhou • 1 ♀; Leigong Mt.; 1 Jun. 2005; Hongying Zhang leg.; ZJUH No. 20059250. – Taiwan • 1 ♀; Jiayi, Zhuqi, Shuisheliao; 16 Nov. 2010; X.X. Chen leg.; ZJUH No. 202307659. – Guangdong • 1 ♂; Longmen, Nankun Mt.; 12 May 2004; Z.F. Xu leg.; ZJUH No. 200048044. Host Unknown. Distribution China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Taiwan, Zhejiang). Remarks The holotype from Fujian (Wuyi Mt.) was not available for study. The interpretation here is based on the original description and additional Chinese specimens. These four females agree with the description of P. apetila except for the metasomal length-to-width ratio (2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 vs 2.0 for the types). This male agrees with the description of P. apetila.
