Remarks

• Systematics: After study of original material, Lachnodiopsis szemaoensis Borchsenius was transferred to Paraputo as P. szemaoensis (Borchsenius) by Williams (2004). As it has more than six setae on the anal ring, Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) recognised Lachnodiopsis as a junior synonym of Formicococcus and made a new combination, F. szemaoensis (Borchsenius). Because the presence of more than six ring setae was treated as an invalid generic character by Zhang & Wu, they herein, considered Lachnodiopsis to be a junior synonym of Paraputo and revived the combination, Paraputo szemaoensis.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1960e). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
