Paratamboicus

Paratamboicus was a genus of harvestmen in the family Sclerosomatidae from the Americas, described by Mello-Leitão 1940 with the type-species by original designation being Paratamboicus bicornutus Mello-Leitão, 1940. It was much later considered as Junior subjective synonym of Holcobunus Roewer 1910 by Tourinho & Kury (2001).
