Perilampus neglectus

Diagnosis.
Head, mesosoma and metasoma black; female flagellum dark brown. Body size: 2.0-2.6 mm. Head shape in frontal view (Fig.
12A, B
) much wider than high. Head in lateral view not unusually long, without distinct sulcus separating posterior eye margin from temple. Clypeal margin (Fig.
12A, B
) truncate to very slightly convex. Supraclypeal area (Fig.
12A, B
) slightly transverse (less than 1.5
x
as wide as high), sides slightly defined; in male without oval lateral impressions. Malar sulcus versus anterior margin of malar depression shorter. Frontal keels (Fig.
12A, B
) absent. Face between scrobes and eye (Fig.
12A, B
) smooth. Face between clypeus and eye (Fig.
12A, B
) smooth. Lateral ocellus small (OOL at least twice the largest ocellar diameter). Funicular segments in female (Fig.
12A
): most segments quadrate to transverse. Male scape (Fig.
12B
) slightly widened distally; ventral pores on half scape length. Mesosoma (Fig.
12C
) not narrow (less than 1.4
x
as long as wide). Mesoscutum sculpture (Fig.
12C
) without smooth median tubercle; interspaces smaller than punctures, smooth. Scutellum hind margin (Fig.
12C
) without a double carina, with small hardly bilobed protruding projection. Prepectus (Fig.
12D
) wide, dorsal margin longer than pronotal collar; well defined anteriorly (i.e. suture with pronotum very distinct); anterior margin at most with extremely small punctures.

Comments.
For differences from similar species see
P. minutalis
(Fig.
11
). The male was not described by
Boucek
(1956)
, or by subsequent authors. It is very similar to the female in most characters (see the diagnosis above), but differs mainly in having darker and thicker antennae, including the scape, with ventral pores visible on half the scape length (Fig.
12B
).
