CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Paragus majoranae Rondani, 1857 (Peck 1988: 81, Belcari et al. 1995a: 10); junior synonym of Paragus pecchiolii Rondani, 1857 (Sommaggio 2002: 55).

REMARKS: Rondani (1857: 191) described Paragus tarsatus from two males: “ Mares duo speciei accepi, unum … a D. Schembri, alterum … a Prof. Gemellaro [I received two males of the species, one from Mr. Schembri …, the other from Prof. Gemellaro]”. Sommaggio (2002: 55) designated a lectotype (♂), but did not mention the additional male in the MZUF (this additional specimen is a paralectotype).
