Remarks.
Paralecanium
consists of 29 described species, most of which are from the
Oriental
and Australian regions (
Hodgson 1994
;
García Morales
et al
. 2016
). Adult females of the genus are easily recognized by the fanshaped marginal setae.
Podoparalecanium
shares this character with
Paralecanium
, but differs from it in having an asymmetrical body shape (
Hodgson 1994
).
