(Figures: 36–39, 56, 59)

Etymology. The specific name is related to the species’ habitat.

Material examined. Holotype male. FRENCH GUIANA. Saint Laurent du Maroni: Haut Maroni, La Forestiére, Jun, coll. Le Moult (MNHN).

Measurements. Total length: 10.4; head length: 1.2; head width: 2.3; pronotal length: 2.1; pronotal width: 6.1; abdominal width: 5.4; length of antennal segments (I: 0.5; II: 0.9; III: 1.2).

Male: Pygophore with dorsal rim concave (Fig. 36) and furrowed; posterolateral angles developed (Fisg. 36, 38). Genital cup processes subtriangular, large, shallowly concave, located lateral to proctiger (Fig. 37); apex posteriorly projected and surpassing dorsal rim in lateral view (Figs. 36–37). Parameres flat, subtriangular; anterior expansion triangular and large, distal margin sloping, distal expansion truncate and directed lateroposteriorly; apex expanded downwards and not surpassing dorsal rim (Figs. 37, 39). Dorsal face of the proctiger as long as wide, whole, without a distal shallow concavity (Figs. 36–37). Lateral face of the proctiger slightly constricted (Fig. 36). Lateral expansion of proctiger trapezoidal, large, three or more times wider than the anal opening, and curved; projected dorsally, beyond the dorsal face, apex of lateral arms rounded and posteriorly projected (Figs. 36–38). Ventral rim with lobes not reaching the posterolateral angle level (Fig. 38).

Comments. The new species Paraedessa silvicola is recognized by having posterolateral angles more developed than in other species; shape of parameres and ventral rim of the pygophore with shallow excavation.
