Comments.

The holotype of Paridris coorgensis does not have a posteriorly directed spine on the horn of T1 ( Figure 17 ), the metascutellum is bispinose ( Figure 16 ), and T6 is constricted apically ( Figure 18 ). These characters are diagnostic for this species and can be more clearly seen in a Figures 11-14 which illustrate well preserved specimens. Paridris asian sp. 1 in the phylogeny of Talamas et al. (2013) is here identified as Paridris coorgensis .
