Paranonychus is a genus of harvestman in the family Paranonychidae.[1] There are three described species in Paranonychus.[2][3][4][5] The Japanese species Paranonychus fuscus was originally described in its own genus as Mutsunonychus fuscus Suzuki 1976, but considered its own species and part of Paranonychus in later studies.[5]

Species

These three species belong to the genus Paranonychus:[1]

• Paranonychus brunneus (Banks, 1893) – USA (Oregon, Washington to Alaska), Canada (British Columbia).
• Paranonychus concolor Briggs, 1971 – USA (Oregon, single location in Cascade range).
• Paranonychus fuscus (Suzuki, 1976) – Japan (widespread northern Honshu, Aomori Pref. etc).
