Revision of Phaenocora Ehrenberg, 1836 (Rhabditophora, Typhloplanidae, Phaenocorinae) with the description of two new species
Zootaxa 3889 (3): 301-354

Abstract / Notes

A morphological and taxonomical account of the taxon Phaenocora is provided. An effort was made to locate and
study all available material and, where possible, species are briefly re-described. We also describe two new
species: Phaenocora gilberti sp. nov. from Cootes Paradise, Ontario, Canada and Phaenocora aglobulata sp. nov.
from Prairie Grove, Ala- bama, USA. Species recognition is based on a combination of both male and female
morphology. A comparison of and discussion on all species is given, resulting in a total of 28 valid species,
three species inquirendae, five species dubiae, and one nomen nudum. An identification key is provided.
