Treatment

Type species.

Paraurodera similis Moldenke, 1981, by original designation.

Diagnosis.

According to Moldenke (1981), this group can be separated from Urodera by the following combination of characters: subrectangular body shape, with sides subparallel; anterior margin of pronotum never concealing entire head in dorsal view; legs without longitudinal carinae. Additional characters that may help distinguish this genus are: frons without strong sexual dimorphism; antennomere IV clavate, smaller than V; hind pronotal angles sinuate, perpendicular.

Distribution.

Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Uruguay.
