Remarks

• Systematics: The species is characterized by a great number of quinquelocular pores, which are present even on two posterior sternites. Females from Aktyubinsk Province and Turkmenia differ from the type material in the presence of singular small tubular ducts (along with large ducts) on posterior sternites. Danzig (2006a) suggested that this material is not Ph. angustatus. Matesova (1968) recorded a species from eastern Kazakhstan and named it "Ph. prope angustatus;" it was collected from leaves of Phleum. It is not clear whether this species is Ph. angustatus or not.
• Structure: Body elongate, 3 mm long. Antennae 9-segmented. Legs long; hind coxa and tibia with translucent pores. Circulus absent. Multilocular pores present on five posterior abdominal sternites. Quinquelocular pores numerous everywhere on body, but rare on two posterior abdominal segments. (Danzig, 2006a)
• Biology: Living under the leaf sheaths of sorghum. (Danzig, 2006a)
• General Remarks: Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949) and by Tang (1992). Good illustration of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1960c).
