Oscar J. Cadena-Castañeda & A.V. Gorochov
Abstract. The genus Paraphidnia Giglio-Tos, 1898 belonging to the tribe Dysoniini is divided into two subgenera: Paraphidnia s. str. and Anaphidna subgen. nov. The nominotypical subgenus contains only P. gallina Giglio-Tos, 1898. Paraphidnia verrucosa (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878) and P. lankesteri Rehn, 1918 are included in the new subgenus together with twelve new species: P. mexicana sp. nov. (type species of Anaphidna), P. peruana sp. nov., P. svetlanae sp. nov., P. bezverkhovi sp. nov., P. polestshuki sp. nov, P. gracielae sp. nov., P. quirozi sp. nov., P. silvai sp. nov., P. osae sp. nov., P. hernandezi sp. nov., P. rubricorpus sp. nov., and P. rhinoceros sp. nov. The new subgenus and all the new species are described and illustrated.
