Paraleius Trav 1960

Description

Paraleius sp.

Geographic Location and Habitats: BC: Vancouver Is., Walbran Valley (Lindo et al. 2008b); NB: Maritime Lowlands (Behan-Pelletier 2010); NL: between Corner Brook and Little Grand Lake, Balsam fir forests (Dwyer et al. 1997, 1998).

Genus Parapirnodus Balogh & Mahunka, 1968

Remarks: Parapirnodus species listed below were transferred to Behanpseudoppia Subías, 2017 in the family Pseudoppiidae, by Subías (2017), a move we reject because it ignores the character states outlined in Behan-Pelletier et al. (2002) that support a relationship with Scheloribatidae.
