Abstract

The neotenic net-winged beetle Paratelius Kazantsev, 1992 is revised. Five species are placed in Paratelius, three of which are described as new: P. emasensis n. sp., P. snizeki n. sp., and P. nigricornis n. sp. All known species are treated with diagnoses, redescriptions, and data on variability and distribution. A key to the males of Paratelius species and the genera of Ateliini is provided.
