The Paradelia lunatifrons section

The present section only includes the species P. lunatifrons (Zetterstedt) . It is considered as the sister group of the remaining species of Paradelia, all assigned to the Paradelia intersecta section (see below). The very slender male abdomen and sternites I–IV (Fig. 16) and the reduced articulatory sclerites between epandrium and surstyli (Figs. 20, 21, short arrow) appear autapomorphic for the present section.
