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).
