Paragordius sp

One male of Paragordius was found in the Botanical Garden of Gordonstown, Jamaica (Natural History Museum, London, accession number 89.4.15.1). Males of Paragordius can easily be recognized by their exremely long tail lobes (distinctly longer than body diameter), but the cuticular structures in this specimen from Jamaica were not preserved well enough to allow a further determination.
