Paradilacra : Casey, 1910a: 72 (as “a distinct genus, or more correctly a subgenus of the genus Dilacra ”, in subtribe Athetina (spelled as Athetae)). Paradilacra : Casey, 1911a: 127 (as valid genus in subtribe Athetina (spelled as Athetae)). Paradilacra : Fenyes, 1918: 19 (as valid genus in subtribe Athetina (spelled as Athetae)). Paradilacra : Fenyes, 1920: 243 (as valid genus). Atheta ( Paradilacra ) : Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz, 1926: 607 (as valid subgenus). Atheta ( Paradilacra ) : Moore & Legner, 1975: 352 (as valid subgenus). Paradilacra : Seevers, 1978: 118 (as valid genus in subtribe Xenotae (unavailable name)). Paradilacra : Ashe in Newton et al. , 2000: 369 (as valid genus in subtribe Athetina ). Diagnosis. See Bernhauer (1909) and Fenyes (1920) . Discussion. My examination of the type species of Paradilacra revealed that its aedeagus lacks the athetine bridge. Based on the shape of the aedeagus and the sclerites of its internal sac the genus Paradilacra is transferred to the subtribe Tachyusina Thomson, 1859 of the tribe Oxypodini .
