It looked very similar but you are right that there are differences including the very dark ring around the neck and more of the brown colour.

Palimmeces habrophanes do have a dark rear half to the thorax. The species is sexually dimorphic. This is a male, whereas all the other CNM records to date, except one, seem to be females.
