The
holotype
of
Premnobius neoajunctus
was examined by both authors. This is the largest of the Neotropical
Premnobius
treated here. It is more robust and the pronotum is less elongate with respect to the elytra (50%). Strial punctures and punctures on the basal portion of the declivity are coarser than those of the other species. The vestiture associated with the declivity is very long and dense.

Notes.
Schedl (1967)
described the female of this species in
Xyleborus
Eichhoff, 1864
. Later
Wood (2007)
transferred this species from
Xyleborus
to
Gnathotrupes
. In his description of
G
.
neoadjunctus
he mistakenly treated the female as a male. The
holotype
was examined by Atkinson and Petrov.
