Comments. This genus has only three species, Paraneda viridescens Timberlake, 1943 occurs in Central America, and the other two occur in South America: Paraneda pallidula (Mulsant, 1850) and Paraneda guticollis (Mulsant, 1850). Only P. pallidula is recorded for Brazil (Mulsant 1850). The genus Paraneda is a new record for NE Brazil, due to the presence of P. pallidula in the region.
