description: 8. Panurginus labiatus (Eversmann)
Panurgus labiatus Eversmann, 1852: 62, 3.; Warncke, 1972: 93. Panurgus clypeatus Eversmann, 1852: 62, 3.
Panurgus arenarius Schenck, 1861: 189 (synonym Warncke, 1972: 93). Panurginus labiatus: Schenck, 1861: 189, 3; Giraud, 1861: 454, 3, Ƥ.; Friese, 1897: 18; 1901: 11, 12, 15, 16; Osytshnjuk, 1977: 298.
Diagnosis. Externally, Panurginus labiatus resembles species of the niger -group: T2 and T3 with smooth interspaces, T6 without lateral hair tufts. Gonostylus widened towards apical end; penis valve bent inside, but apically not triangularly enlarged like at other species of the group. From the other regional species, P. labiatus can be easily differentiated by its transparent, without any color fumigation, wings, and S6−S8 apical structures of male (Figs 95–103). It also differs from P. niger by larger and denser pits on the metasomal terga (10 µm / 1−2) (P. niger: punctures are a few diameters apart).
Geographical distribution. Europe (Osytshnjuk, 1977: from Spain to Bashkortostan), East to Baikal Lake [Kemerovo Oblast (Sidorov, 2010), *Irkutsk]; NE * Kazakhstan.

Metasomal terga with swelled disc and abrupt premarginal line; marginal zone on T1 ca 1/2, on T2–T4 ca 2/3 discal length. T1 with basal concavity separated from horizontal disc by angulated carina. Metasomal Sterna & Genitalia (Figs 95–103). S2 and S5 posterior margins slightly concave, at S3 and S4 straight. S2–S5 with premarginal, thin hair fringe, on S4 longer. S6 posterior margin medially with deep, oval, emargination dividing 2 wide processes flattened, pointed, bent down ventrally at 90°, and externally densely pubescent. S7 basal marginal incurve twice wider than deep; disk with median kill shortly distant from basal edge; posterior margin with 2 parallel processes twice as long as wide, flattened latero-laterally (lateral view). S8 wide, disc as long as wide; neck short, wide, with, narrow lateral flaps; apical plate slightly wider than long, ventrally with marginal, dense, erect, short hear brush; basal hill 90° (lateral view). Gonocoxite without marginal excavation. Gonostylus narrow, apically widely rounded, with distal half enlarged and bent ventrally. Penis valve apically rounded and bent ventrally, with internal, preapical excavation deep and round. Sculpture. Generally, body shiny and smooth.

Remarks. Panurginus labiatus in body sculpture and structure of male S6 resembles P. lactipennis Friese from Europe and P. turcomanicus Popov from Central Asia. However, it is easily recognizable by transparent wings and yellow clypeus of male (at both latter species: wings are milky-white and male clypeus is black).
