Three new North American species of Paradonus Stibick are described: Paradonus gallatinensis new species, Paradonus gustafsoni new species and Paradonus stibicki new species is described for specimens formerly called Paradonus pectoralis sensu Stibick, 1991. The type species of the genus, Paradonus pectoralis Say, 1839 is redefined, and the Holotype of Paradonus olivereae Stibick, 1991 is designated as the Neotype of P. pectoralis, a common, widespread species. The genus is redescribed, a checklist of species is included, and notes on the described species north of Mexico are given. Hypnoidus guatemalensis Champion, 1895 is removed from the genus and placed in Zorochros Thompson, 1858 as Zorochros guatemalensis (Champion, 1895) new combination. A key to all described species north of Mexico is provided, along with illustrations of characters used in identifying species.
描述了北美新的三种帕拉多努斯属（Paradonus Stibick）物种：加拉廷帕拉多努斯新物种（Paradonus gallatinensis new species）、古斯塔夫森帕拉多努斯新物种（Paradonus gustafsoni new species），以及为以前被称为1991年斯蒂比克所定义的胸斑帕拉多努斯（Paradonus pectoralis sensu Stibick）的标本所描述的斯蒂比克帕拉多努斯新物种（Paradonus stibicki new species）。重新定义了该属的模式种，即1839年的赛伊胸斑帕拉多努斯（Paradonus pectoralis Say），并指定1991年的奥利维雷帕拉多努斯（Paradonus olivereae Stibick）的正模标本为胸斑帕拉多努斯的新模式标本，这是一个常见且分布广泛的物种。重新描述了该属，列出了物种清单，并给出了墨西哥以北所描述物种的注释。1895年的危地马拉拟藓（Hypnoidus guatemalensis Champion）被从该属中移除，并作为危地马拉佐罗藓（Zorochros guatemalensis (Champion, 1895) new combination）置于1858年的佐罗藓属（Zorochros Thompson）中。提供了墨西哥以北所有已描述物种的检索表，以及用于识别物种的特征插图。
