Paralecanium
Paralecanium is a genus of soft scale insects in the family Coccidae and tribe Paralecaniini. The genus was established by Cockerell in Cockerell & Parrott in 1899, with Lecanium frenchii Maskell designated as the type species. A major revision published in 2018 redefined the genus, and a further species, Paralecanium sabia, was described from China in 2024.
