Genus PHAEOGENES Wesmael 



Phaeoge)ies Wesmael, 1845 (1844). [Brussels] Acad. Roy. de Belg., Nouveaux Mem. 18: 180.

Type-species: Phaeogenes ceplmlotes Wesmael. Desig. by Ashmead, 1900. 



Townes, Momoi, and Townes (1965) distinguished Dirophanes from Phaeogenes, but the 

 characters they ascribed to Dirophanes in their key do not fit the type-species very well. Their 

 key also distinguishes Phaeogenes in the strict sense from "species placed in Phaeogenes with a 

 query," but because the latter category includes most of the species presently in Phaeogenes it 

 does not seem practical to adopt that classification here.
