<p>"<a href="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Phantom_Knights" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Phantom Knights</a>" is an archetype that contains a number of Trap cards. They all have an effect that turns them into a Monster with an added effect that says they are not treated as Traps. For instance, <a href="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Phantom_Knights_of_Dark_Gauntlets" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Phantom Knights of Dark Gauntlets</a>.</p>

  <p>Send 1 "Phantom Knights" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to the Graveyard.

(This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, this card gains 300 DEF for each "Phantom Knights" Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard.</p>

<p>If their effects are negated, do they count as a Monster with negated effects or a Trap card?</p>

I've cleaned up your post and added a card description from one of the cards in that archetype. However, I'm not very familiar with this archetype, so if I misunderstood your question, please feel free to change what I've written.

If a "The Phantom Knights" trap monster's effects are negated, is it turned back into a trap or no?

If their effects are negated, do they count as a Monster with negated effects or a Trap card?
