" Parajulus View in CoL " pueblanus Chamberlin, 1943

Diagnosis. Anterior gonopod coxal processes expanded apically with short subacuminate lobes projecting in opposing directions; posterior gonopod with two projections plus expanded, spinulate lamella at opening of seminal canal; anterior projection prolonged apically and extending dorsad for varying lengths; caudal process bent abruptly anteriad at 1/3 length, curvilinear thereafter and extending at least to level of spinulate lamella.

Distribution. Western Morelos and adjacent Distrito Federal to western Veracruz.

Remarks. As in " P." rosanus , two geographically proximate and anatomically similar forms of " P." pueblanus exist that were named by past workers. As per the discussion in the remarks section of this species, I conserve these at the subspecific level.
