TYPE SPECIES. — Pronemobius apterus Chopard, 1915 by subsequent designation by Otte (1994a) . Ignambina oubatchia Otte, 1987 erroneously mentioned as type species of Paniella in Otte et al. (1987) . ILLUSTRATIONS. — Habitus: Fig. 4D ; Anso et al. 2016a : fig. 36. Male genitalia: none (LDG, pers. obs.). DIAGNOSIS. — Small Nemobiinae with distinctly variegated coloration, with yellow, orange, brown and black; legs yellowish brown both dark marks and rings. Maxillary palpi short; joints 4 and 5 yellow or white; joint 5 very short and wide. Eyes small, not protruding, the distance between epistemal suture and lower margin of eye nearly equal to eye mid width. TI lacking both inner and outer tympanum; two long, ventral apical spurs. TII with three apical spurs.TIII with three pairs of short subapical spurs; three apical spurs on each side; median spur the longest on outer side; dorsal spur the longest on inner side, about half as long as basitarsomere III. Males. Apterous. Male genitalia: Pseudepiphallic sclerite short and wide, more or less rounded; partly sclerotized dorsally, but membranous anteriorly to apical lobes; laterally more sclerotized. Pseudepiphallic apical lobes short but well-separated from one another, membranous. Dorsal cavity small; endophallic sclerite with a thin and elongate median part, and two larger lateral parts, extended anteriorly by a thin and long sclerotization. Ectophallic fold extended laterally. Females. Apterous; ovipositor shorter than FIII; dorsal valves with crenulated apex. DISTRIBUTION. — Endemic to New Caledonia . HABITAT. — Paniella lives in rainforest. Many specimens deposited in the MNHN collection have been collected by fogging of trees and logs, while others have been collected by night high on tree trunks or on understorey plants.
