Similar species: Panolopus lanceolatus and P. chalcorhabdus cannot be morphologically separated based on standard characters; however, they can be separated by the angled subocular width divided by the angled subocular height (3.29–5.91 [n=7] versus 2.77–3.28 [n=5]).
Panolopus lanceolatus sp. nov. and P. leionotus cannot be morphologically separated based on standard characters; however, they can be separated by the frontal width divided by the SVL (3.48–3.84 [n=8] versus 3.89–5.00 [n=5]).
Panolopus lanceolatus sp. nov. and P. neiba cannot be morphologically separated based on standard characters; however, they can be separated by the frontal width divided by the SVL (3.48–3.84 [n=8] versus 3.86–4.52 [n=5]). (Schools & Hedges 2024)
