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.
