Paraprocirrus Bernhauer, 1923: 63 (replacement name for Eucirrus Fauvel ). Type species: Eucirrus miricornis Fauvel , fixed by objective synonymy with Eucirrus ( ICZN, 1999: Article 67.8).

Eucirrus Fauvel, 1895: 215 (preoccupied by Melly, 1832). Type species: Eucirrus miricornis Fauvel, 1895: 216 , fixed by monotypy.

— Bernhauer and Schubert, 1912: 198 (catalog; world). — Cameron, 1921: 352, 369, 402 (characters; key and catalog for species of Singapore). — Scheerpeltz, 1933: 1212 (synonym of Paraprocirrus ). — Blackwelder, 1952: 154 (type species; synonym of Paraprocirrus ).

DIAGNOSIS: Paraprocirrus is separated from Neoprocirrus by the bidentate labral margin, the subbasal constriction of the pronotum (in dorsal view) (fig. 6), the indistinct basal angles on the head (fig. 6), and the absence of ventral cephalic grooves (compare to fig. 2). The eleventh antennomere is elongate and the postocular portion of the head is elongate and gradually tapered to the neck (fig. 6). An undescribed species of Paraprocirrus has feebly developed basal angles at the juncture with the neck. The neck of Paraprocirrus is slightly less than two fifths the width of the widest postocular width of the head as compared to Neoprocirrus in which the neck is half as wide as the postocular width of the head. Protarsomeres 1–4 are swollen (fig. 6). The absence of setae on the edge of the posterior margin of the elytra will separate Paraprocirrus from Neo-
