Comments.

Kieffer described Baryconus opacus from Brazil, and later transferred it to Paranteris, a genus synonymized with Paridris by Masner in 1965. Consistent with Kieffer’s interpretation of Foerster’s original concept of Baryconus (Ritchie and Masner 1983), Paridris opaca belongs in Probaryconus, a genus prone to confusion with Paridris .
