. Phalangogonia Burmeister is revised and now includes eight species: P . dispar Ohaus, P . jamesonae , sp.n., P . lacordairei Bates, P . obesa Burmeister, P . parilis Bates, P . punctata Franz, P . ratcliffei , sp.n. and P . sperata Sharp. Phalangogonia debilidens Ohaus is placed in synonymy with P . sperata . Lectotypes are designated for the following nominal species: P . dispar Ohaus, P . lacordairei Bates, P . parilis Bates and P . championi Bates. Neotypes are designated for: P . obesa Burmeister, P . sperata Sharp, P . stipes Sharp and P . debilidens Ohaus. A cladistic analysis of the species of Phalangogonia was executed using thirty‐two morphological characters of adults.
