Parisopalpus is a genus of false blister beetles in the family Oedemeridae. The genus was first identified by Logan Hudson in 1975,[1] who separated the group from Sessinia due to the presence of bifid mandibles, and n males of the species visible genitalia.[1]
Species are primarily found in Australia and New Zealand.[1] In 2012, a new species was identified in Chile, Parisopalpus defoei.[2]
