subgen. nov.

Ceratorchestes (Paraceratorchestes) View in CoL n. subgen.

Type species: Ceratorchestes variabilis n. sp.

Diagnosis — Epimeres III + IV not unusually elongated. Setae of epimere IV inserted at level of lateral to genital aperture. Rostrum incised. Notogastral setae represented by nine pairs of setae and one pair of alveoli ( c).

Etymology — The prefix para is Latin meaning "near" and refers the similarity between the new subgenus and the subgenus Ceratorchestes (Ceratorchestes) .

Remarks — Ceratorchestes (Paraceratorchestes) n. subgen. is distinguishable from the other subgenus Ceratorchestes (Ceratorchestes) by the normal proportion of the epimeres III + IV and the localization of setae on epimere IV (see above diagnoses to subgenera).
