| Sumario: | <i>Paragordius</i> is a genus of Gordiida with a worldwide distribution, but with a scarce specific diversity. Sixteen species of the genus <i>Paragordius</i> have been described so far. In many cases, as with the other genera of Gordiida, the original descriptions of the species are insufficient due to the limitations of the techniques employed. In this work the holotypes of <i>P. minusculus</i> and <i>P. esavianus</i> are redescribed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a new species of <i>Paragordius</i> is described, the distribution for <i>P. esavianus</i> and <i>P. varius</i> is enlarged and a new host record of <i>P. esavianus</i> is presented. |
