Parampheres Roewer, 1913

Parampheres Roewer, 1913: 345; (type species: Parampheres pectinatus Roewer, 1913, by monotypy).

Metapachyloides Roewer, 1917: 120; (type species: Metapachyloides rugosus Roewer, 1917, by monotypy) Syn. n.

Diagnosis.

Parampheres resembles Acanthogonyleptes , Adhynastes Roewer, 1930 and Deltaspidium Roewer, 1927 by the presence of a more elongated prolateral apical apophysis on male coxa IV (greater length/basal diameter ratio of the apophysis) than that in Gonyleptes and related Gonyleptinae genera. Parampheres can be distinguished from Adhynastes and Deltaspidium by the scutal area III with tubercles (instead of spines). Parampheres can be distinghished from Acanthogonyleptes by the absence of a clearly defined dorsobasal apophysis on the male femur IV. Parampheres species bear a row of apophyses on the dorsal basal area of the femur IV.

Taxonomical note.

Metapachyloides is a monotypic genus and its type species is junior synonym of Parampheres tibialis Roewer, 1917.
