Extract

Carvalho and Usinger (1957) divided the North American genus Dacerla Signoret, 1881, into two. Dacerla now contains those species with a spinelike projection on the posterior margin of the pronotum, and Paradacerla Carvalho and Usinger contains those species wqithout a spinelike projection.

In this paper Paradacerla species and Dacerla mediospinosa are compared, especially concerning the genitalic characters, and a new species, P. hirsuta, is described. Distinguishing external characters of the species and a key toParadacerla are provided
