 Comments
       
  Comment: In their review of the genus Paranais in North America, as well as other non-North American taxa assigned to this genus and taxa previously assigned to the genus Wapsa, Brinkhurst and Coates (1985) determined that the genus Wapsa was a junior synonym of the genus Paranais, resulting in the new combination, Paranais grandis (Harman, 1977)
