Key to the species of Brueelia (Painjunirmus) Ansari, 1947

Note that the species Br. (Painjunirmus) parva ( Mey, 2017) is not included in this key, as the original description, illustration and photos are inadequate to compare it with other species in this subgenus, and its relationship to Br. ( Painjunirmus ) is unclear.
