摘要

Paratagalis zikani sp. nov. from Brazil is described. A revised diagnosis of Paratagalis Monte, 1943, is provided. Morphological variation and sexual dimorphism oí Paratagalis spinosus Monte, 1943, are described for the first time. A key to the Saicinae genera of the New World is provided.

By far the largest of these are Polytoxus Spinola, 1840, from the Old World, and Saica Amyot & Serville, 1843, from the New World (Maldonado 1990; Schuh & Slater 1995; Weirauch & Forero 2007a).
