description: Siniphanerotomella He, Chen & van Achterberg, 1994
Siniphanerotomella He, Chen & van Achterberg, 1994: 191.
Type species: Siniphanerotomella fanjingshana He, Chen et van Achterberg, 1994 (examined).
Additional diagnosis
Antenna with 18–19 antennomeres (♀) and 23–26 antennomeres (♂). Occipital carina complete or absent mediodorsally. Notauli absent (at most area indicated by concave sculpture in S. disparclypeolus Ji et Chen). Vein 2-SR+M of fore wing usually nearly vertical, but sometimes nearly absent.
Distribution. Oriental region of China (Guizhou, Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan).
Biology. Unknown.
