Phanerotomella pulchra – Fahringer 1938: 3–4. — Telenga 1941: 434. — Shenefelt 1973: 931. — Ma 1983: 640. — Zettel 1989: 25, 50–51. — Papp 1989: 301. — Tobias 2000: 439–440. — He et al. 2001: 47–48, 50. — Chen & Ji 2003: 180, 197, 230. Phanerotomella variareolata – Zettel 1989: 25, 52–53. — Papp 1989: 301. — Tobias 2000: 439, 441. — Chen & Ji 2003: 180, 204–205, 230. Diagnosis OOL 3.2 × as long as OD; apex of metasomal carapace pointed in dorsal view; face width 0.95 × height of face and clypeus together; metasoma 0.93 × as long as mesosoma. Host Unknown. Distribution Russia, China (Fujian, Jiangsu, Yunnan). Remarks The holotype of P. pulchra from China (Jiangsu; ♂) and P. variareolata from Russia (♀) were examined by Zettel (1989) and the interpretation here is based on his redescription and the original descriptions. The differences between both types are considered to be intraspecific. Phanerotomella variareolata is treated as a junior synonym of P. pulchra based on the following key characters: (1) face width 0.95× height of face and clypeus together; (2) metasoma 0.92-0.93 × as long as mesosoma; (3) eye in dorsal view 0.9× as long as temple; (4) malar space 0.42-0.43× as long as eye; (5) metasomal carapace 1.85 × as long as maximum width.
