Paradilacra Bernhauer, 1909 View in CoL

Paradilacra Bernhauer, 1909: 517 View in CoL (as subgenus of Atheta View in CoL ;

type species: Atheta densissima Bernhauer View in CoL , 1909; fixed by Fenyes (1918), by subsequent designation).

Paradilacra: Casey, 1910a: 72 View in CoL (as “a distinct genus, or more correctly a subgenus of the genus Dilacra ”, in subtribe Athetina View in CoL (spelled as Athetae)).

Paradilacra: Casey, 1911a: 127 View in CoL (as valid genus in subtribe Athetina View in CoL (spelled as Athetae)).

Paradilacra: Fenyes, 1918: 19 View in CoL (as valid genus in subtribe Athetina View in CoL (spelled as Athetae)).

Paradilacra: Fenyes, 1920: 243 View in CoL (as valid genus).

Atheta (Paradilacra) : Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz, 1926: 607 (as valid subgenus).

Atheta (Paradilacra) : Moore & Legner, 1975: 352 (as valid subgenus).

Paradilacra: Seevers, 1978: 118 View in CoL

(as valid genus in subtribe Xenotae View in CoL (unavailable name)).

Paradilacra: Ashe View in CoL in Newton et al., 2000: 369 (as valid genus in subtribe Athetina View in CoL ).

Diagnosis. See Bernhauer (1909) and Fenyes (1920).

Discussion. My examination of the type species of Paradilacra revealed that its aedeagus lacks the athetine bridge. Based on the shape of the aedeagus and the sclerites of its internal sac the genus Paradilacra is transferred to the subtribe Tachyusina Thomson, 1859 of the tribe Oxypodini .
