Abstract: Genus Parabrachida Cameron, 1939 Parabrachida Cameron, 1939: 49 (original description; type species: Parabrachida decipiens Cameron, 1939). Diagnosis. The genus Parabrachida is distinguished from Protinodes by the anteriorly prominent labrum (Klimaszewski et al. 2010: fig. 4), the ligula prominent medially (Klimaszewski et al. 2010: fig. 8), and the asymmetrical median lobe of the aedeagus (Figs. 2E–F, 3E–F). This genus differs from Sinanarchusa in the ligula prominent medially, the asymmetrical median lobe of the aedeagus, and the narrow and styliform apical lobe of the paramere of the aedeagus. Remarks. Parabrachida has traditionally been placed in the tribe Homalotini to date (Newton 2025). Following the definition of Himalusini by Maruyama et al. (2014), we reassign this genus from Homalotini to Himalusini.
