The genus Phanocerus is briefly reviewed. Phanocerus currently contains six species. An additional species, Phanocerus queneyi n. sp., is here described from French Guiana. Comments on its biology and morphology are provided. Secretions that potentially form a predator-avoidance mechanism are described.
