Genus
Paralorelopsis Marcuzzi, 1994
Paralorelopsis
Marcuzzi, 1994: 117. Type species:
Paralorelopsis bordoni
Marcuzzi, 1994.
Note.
Marcuzzi (1994)
, in his very limited description based on a single example, described
Paralorelopsis
as agreeing with
Champion's
description of
Lorelopsis
except for a single difference being the lack of a lamina on the subapical tarsomere. His new species,
P. bordoni
, is also much larger in size than species of either
Lorelopsis
or
Prateus
. In both the tarsi and size, it agrees more with some American genera belonging to
Belopini
. We were unable to examine specimens of this genus and therefore place it as incertae sedis in
Lagriinae
for now.
