Containing group: Cephaloplectinae

Introduction

Paralimulodes currently consists of one species (Bruch, 1919; Wilson et al., 1954) occurring within North and South America. The type species was originally associated with the ant Neivamyrmex spegazzinii.

Characteristics

Paralimulodes can be distinguished from other genera of Cephaloplectinae by its 8-segmented antennae. The body form is somewhat narrower and elongated compared to other members of the subfamily.

Geographic Distribution

Paralimulodes wasmanni was originally described from Argentina. Wilson et al. (1954) note the association of P. wasmanni with the ant Neivamyrmex carolinense in Alabama (United States).

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
