Abstract
A key to species of genus Paraxizicus is given. One species is described as new: Paraxizicus spathulata Mao & Shi sp. nov. from China. Two known species, P. sinensis (Tinkham, 1944) com. nov. and P. lacusicera (Shi et al., 1995) com. nov., are transferred to the genus Paraxizicus. The type specimens are deposited in Museum of Hebei University, Baoding, China.References
