Paragonocnemis Kraatz, 1899

Paragonocnemis Kraatz, 1899: 119 (original description). ARDOIN (1964c): 807 –809 (redescription).

Type species. Paragonocnemis sculpticollis Kraatz, 1899 = Paragonocnemis foveicollis (Fairmaire, 1891) .

Remarks. In contrast to the species of the genus Gonocnemis the species of Paragonocnemis present carinae on pronotum and a median carina on frons. The form of pronotal carinae differs among the species of some subgenera of Paragonocnemis . The subgenus Borneogonocnemis Pic, 1936 is the only subgenus of Paragonocnemis which occurs in the Oriental Region. Species of the other subgenera are known only from the Afrotropical Region. An identification key to the subgenera was given by ARDOIN (1964c: 809).
