Phthinia miranda Zaitzev, 1984

Phthinia miranda is most similar to P. lobata and P. tanypus. However, it can be distinguished by the two subequal spines of the gonostylus; P. lobata only has one spine and in P. tanypus the two spines are unequal in length. Phthinia miranda can also be distinguished from P. tanypus by the triangular, apically pointed aedeagal complex; this structure is somewhat rectangular and apically truncate in P. tanypus.
