Taxonomic remark Remarks: The genus Paracamptus was erected by Casey, 1895 with the type species Paracamptus subtropicus Casey, 1895. Later, the genus Paracamptus was described by Chappuis, 1929 with the type species Canthocamptus schmeili Mrazek, 1893. Thus, the genus Paracamptus Chappuis, 1929 is a junior homonym of the generic name Paracamptus Casey, 1895. I propose for the genus Paracamptus Chappuis, 1929 the new replacement name Pesceus nom. nov.
