Comments

Panops danielsi sp.n. is known only from Far Northern Queensland. This species is closely related to Panops baudini as both species have similar shaped mouthparts and pilose eyes. Panops danielsi sp. n. can be distinguished by the more evident eye pilosity, yellow postpronotal lobes and body colouration.
