Abstract:

"Phylloxiphia goodii (Holland,is shown to be a complex of three species that are extremely difficult to separate based on habitus alone. The species P. goodii is rediagnosed and the other two described as P. dargei n. sp. and P. basquini n. sp. The habitus of all three species of the complex, as well as their male genitalia, are illustrated."
