Genus Parasaissetia Takahashi, 1955a View in CoL View at ENA

Type species: Lecanium nigrum Nietner, 1861 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Dorsum with derm with many polygonal reticulations ( Fig. 45C View FIGURE 45 ); setae cylindrical ( Fig. 46C View FIGURE 46 ); and duct tubercles ( Fig. 46A View FIGURE 46 ) and pocket-like sclerotisations present. Marginal setae mostly with fimbriate apices ( Fig. 46K View FIGURE 46 ). Venter with tubular ducts present in submarginal areas ( Fig. 46G View FIGURE 46 ); legs without tibio-tarsal articulatory scleroses ( Fig. 46H View FIGURE 46 ) ( Hodgson 1994; Choi & Lee 2017b).

Remarks. Parasiassetia comprises 5 described species which are restricted to Côte d’Ivoire, Comoros, Kenya, Madagascar, Rénuion, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda except for one cosmopolitan species, P. nigra . The adult females are easily distinguished from other species in Laos by having dorsal polygonal reticulations and dorsal setae with blunt apices ( Hodgson 1994; García Morales et al. 2016).
