Comments

Panops boharti comb. n.was described by Schlinger (1959) as the sole species in the genus Neopanops but is transferred herein to Panops. This Indonesian species is the only non-Australian representative of the genus, and is distinctive based on body colouration and markings, very short mouthparts, eye pilosity and eye shape. Only the male is known.
