Synthetic description Paramioscarta is an endemic monospecific genus of Madagascar . It shares features with the genus Amberana but can be differentiated by its broader general shape and by the large parameres of male genitalia. A synthesis based on Lallemand descriptions ( Lallemand 1920 , 1949 ) and material examined is presented below: HEAD. Wider than long. Ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes and separated by a carina. Median part of vertex strongly domed; lateral margins of dome not parallel, with recess in middle giving this structure a lock shape. Postclypeus rounded in lateral view, striated laterally with triangular dimple just below frons-postclypeus suture as in genus Amberana . Upper part of postclypeus with vertical furrow. THORAX. Three clear dimples just behind anterior margin on each side of pronotum; another one discernable in middle part. Hindlegs with one spine on metatibiae. MALE GENITALIA. Male genitalia with sterno-lateral plates and large parameres clearly exceeding pygofer margin. Distribution ( Fig. 7H ) Endemic genus of Madagascar . Number of species: 1.
