%X Paramedetera, gen. nov., is described on the basis of three species: P. papuensis, sp. nov., the type species from Papua New Guinea, P. sumatrensis, sp. nov., from the lowlands in West Sumatra, and P. orientalis (Hollis, 1964), comb. nov., from the highlands in West Sumatra. Paramedetera, gen. nov., is closely allied to Medetera, but is a more ancestral branch. It is phylogenetically situated between on one hand Corindia and Thrypticus and on the other hand Medetera and Dolichophorus.
