Comments. Athemus longipilis is easily recognised by the shape of the aedeagus and the last sternite in female. If the WITTMER’ s (1995a) subgeneric division of the genus Athemus Lewis, 1895 is accepted, even though it is debatable, the species must be classified in the subgenus Isathemus Wittmer, 1995 , because females possess basal projections on both claws of fore and middle tarsi.
