Diagnosis
Females of
P. albifacies
can be easily differentiated from the known females of the genus by the shape of sternite 8 and the shape of the genital chamber Fig.
1
(A-C). Males can be easily differentiated from other males of the genus by the presence of 9 apical tenacula in the surstyli (8, 9 or more than 20 in other species), the hypandrium setose and by the ejaculatory apodeme angular laterally and rounded anteriorly (as in
Vaillant (1972)
: plate IX).
Female redescription
Sternite 8 (subgenital plate) is wider than its length, with the anterior margin being 2.5 times wider than the posterior margin, it is covered in small setae with a few scattered larger setae on the dorsal surface, two lateral concavities right before the posterior margin, forming two lobes separated by a concavity in the posterior margin. The cerci are longer than sternite 8. The genital chamber is symmetrical as in Fig.
1
A-C.
Based on the male description by
Tonnoir (1919)
and
Jung (1956)
, the female is similar to the male, except the eye bridge is separated by eight facet diameters; the head is without corniculi; the pedicel is symmetrical; the flagellomeres are smaller than those of the male; apical antennal flagellomeres are absent in examined material.
Genetics
four specimens were successfully sequenced: ZFMK-TIS-2638055 (OR139013), ZFMK-TIS-2638076 (OR139014), ZFMK-TIS-2638086 (OR139004) and ZFMK-TIS-2638094 (OR139007). The maximum intraspecific uncorrected pairwise distance for COI sequences was 0.31% or 1 bp.
Distribution

Notes
Tonnoir (1919)
stated that the female of
P. albifacies
(Tonnoir, 1919) differs from the female of
P. goetghebueri
by the colouration of the setae on the thorax, head and the base of the antennae (with white spots in
P. albifacies
and mainly black in
P. goetghebueri
). However,
Freeman (1950)
stated that the female of
P. notabilis
is indistinguishable from those of
P. albifacies
and
P. goetghebueri
. Later,
Jung (1956)
provided a diagnosis and an illustration of the female of
P. albifacies
(
Jung 1956
: fig. 238). Based on the published female diagnosis, the drawings provided by
Jung (1956)
and the re-descriptions and figures herein, the females of
P. albifacies
and
P. goetghebueri
can be differentiated by the shape of sternite 8 (anterior margin being 2.5 times wider than the posterior margin in
P. albifacies
and anterior margin 4 times wider than posterior in
P. goetghebueri
); the shape of the genital chamber (
P. albifacies
, Fig.
1
A-C and
P. goetghebueri
, Fig.
1
D-E). However, there is still a large gap when it comes to the description of females of the genus
Panimerus
and further studies could provide better diagnostic characters to easily differentiate the female specimens. Meanwhile, COI barcodes can be useful when it comes to delimiting undescribed females and associating them with previously described and barcoded male specimens.
Vaillant (1972)
female diagnosis refers to the female description of
Tonnoir (1919)
