Abstract
The genus Paratyndaris Fisher, 1919 is revised, and three subgenera are recognized: P. (Knulliella) Cobos, P. (Paratyndaris) Fisher, and P. (Waltersia), subg. nov. [type species: Tyndaris barberi Skinner]. The subgenus P. (Knulliella) contains six species: P. (K.) antillarum Fisher, P. (K.) chamaeleonis (Skinner), P. (K.) mojito B l , P. (K.) pulchra, sp. nov., P. (K.) similis, sp. nov., and P. (K.) suturalis Fall. The subgenus P. (Paratyndaris) contains 26 species: P. (P.) acaciae Knull, P. (P.) albofasciata Knull, P. (P.) anomalis Knull, P. (P.) cincta (Horn), P. (P.) costata, sp. nov., P. (P.) coursetiae Fisher, P. (P.) crandalli Knull, P. (P.) dozieri, sp. nov., P. (P.) grassmani Parker, P. (P.) lateralis (Barr), P. (P.) mexicana Fisher, P. (P.) mimica, sp. nov., P. (P.) nelsoni (Barr), P. (P.) olneyae (Skinner), P. (P.) paralateralis, sp. nov., P. (P.) peninsularis Westcott, P. (P.) prosopis (Skinner), P. (P.) quadrinotata Knull, P. (P.) robusta (Dozier), P. (P.) subcostata (Barr), P. (P.) tucsoni Knull, P. (P.) turbida, sp. nov., P. (P.) uniformis, sp. nov., P. (P.) variabilis Westcott, P. (P.) verityi, sp. nov., and P. (P.) westcotti, sp. nov. The subgenus P. (Waltersia) contains four species: P. (W.) barberi (Skinner), P. (W.) equihuai Westcott, P. (W.) knulli (Barr), and P. (W.) trilobata Westcott. One new synonym is proposed: P. mexicana Fisher (= P. sonorae (Barr)). All taxa included are described and information on variation, type localities, distribution, biology, and comparisons are given for each species. A key to subgenera and species is provided. Habitus photos for all species and selected generic outgroup taxa, drawings of selected key characters, distributional maps and a cladogram of hypothetical generic relationships are presented. Tables of examined taxa, characters and character states and a character state matrix are included.References
