Etymology. Latin "paradisum" , after "Paradise Forest Park" where type specimens were collected. Distribution. China (Hainan) Remarks. The genus Paracondeellum Yin, Xie & Zhang, 1994 is endemic to China and was previously known by a single species, P. dukouense , from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. Paracondeellum paradisum sp. nov. differs from P. dukouense in the shape of foretarsal sensilla, pseudoculus, and female squama genitalis, and in the body chaetotaxy. A comparison of the morphology of these two species is given in Table 4 .
