Specimens of Anillina from Argentina are described for the first time. They belong to a new genus, Paranillopsis, and include two new species, P. piguensis (type species) and P. pampensis. External structural features of Paranillopsis show close relationship with the genus Paranillus Jeannel from Magadascar. Their vicariant distribution pattern, as for other taxa with similar patterns, is postulated to have resulted from the breakup of the Gondwanan supercontinent.
