Abstract

Four new species of Paravelia are described: P. stenoptera and P. spinifera from Surinam;
P. manausana from Brazil; P. bullialata from Surinam, Brazil and British Guiana (now Guyana).
P. stenoptera n. sp. is the first Paruvelia species known to possess a stridulatory mechanism, consisting
of a plectrum on the trochanter and a strigil on the abdomen. Paravelia virtutis DRAKE & HARRIS 1935 is added to the checklist of Paravelia species previously published.
