After comparing the morphology of the genus Hemicrisis Förster, 1869 and Phaenoglyphis Förster, 1869, and examining the sculpturing in this genus, the synonymy between Hemicrisis and Phaenoglyphis is re-established. The specific status of Phaenoglyphis pubicollis (Thomson, 1877) comb. n. is re-established and differentiated from Phaenoglyphis ruficornis (Förster, 1869) comb. n. A new species of Charipinae, Phaenoglyphis evenhuisi sp. n. is described from Andorra. It is characterized by the presence of sculpture on the mesonotum, a character only shared with P. pubicollis. Some illustrations are provided. Notes on all the sculptured Charipinae are provided as well as a key to the genera of Alloxystini.
