Paraleyrodes proximus Terán (Figs 51–52) Paraleyrodes proximus Terán, 1979: 170 –174. Holotype (adult male), Argentina. DISTRIBUTION. Neotropical Region — Belize, Argentina, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru. COMMENTS. This is a little­known member of the genus, but its presence in Belize is confirmed by the characteristic aedeagal apex of the male (Fig. 52), which is the least developed amongst known Paraleyrodes species. However, the puparia (Fig. 51) are not very distinctive, being similar to poor published descriptions of those of P. goyabae (Goeldi), and are unsafe to identify in isolation. Illustrated here are the aedeagus of a male and the vacated pupal case of the same individual.
