Comments.

A new species is currently being described ( MPM unpubl. data); similarly to Panaspis sp. 1 , it is known only from Serra da Neve. The single collected specimen was found under a long near to a riparian gallery. Panaspis sp. 2 present phylogenetic and biogeographic affinities with P. annettesabinae from the highlands of Ethiopia ( Colston et al. 2020; MPM unpubl. data).
