(after Milledge 2024): Members of Pthersigena have can be distinguished from other members of the Paraoxypilina, except Gyromantis, by having the anterior margin of the forecoxa unarmed, by having a distinct spine at the corner of the pronotal margin above the coxal insertion and by the females having very reduced wings. From Gyromantis they can be distinguished by the reduced vertical apophyses (prominent and pointed in Gyromantis) and by the extreme reduction of the female wings (moderately reduced in Gyromantis).
