Remarks
- Systematics: Morrison (1927) described this genus as related to Coelostomidia, Ultracoelostoma, Cryptokermes and Mimosicerya. The larva has the posterior apex of body strongly chitinized, as in Ultracoelostoma. The larva differs from all closely related genera in that the ventral cicatrices are arranged in two longitudinal rows of several each, rather than in a single transverse row of three. He also noted that the anal tube of the preadult females was often retained within that of the adult, which may suggest that they are pupillarial. (Foldi & Gullan, 2014)
Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, resurrected the tribe Cryptokermesini within the family Margarodidae to place the genus Paracoelostoma in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Callipappinae (Cryptokermes, Mimosicerya, Paracoelostoma and Ultracoelostoma)
- Structure: Adult female ovoid to globular; derm membranous, except that surrounding anal opening that becomes sclerotised at maturity. Antenna much reduced. Mouthparts present; labium 3 segmented. Legs reduced, without distinct segments; claw curved with setose digitules. (Foldi & Gullan, 2014)
- Biology: In this test-forming genus, each immature stage of development is enclosed within a thickly-walled test, in which the adult female remains and oviposits. The only known species is from Samán in the Piura region of coastal Peru on a plant belonging to the family Sapotaceae. (Foldi & Gullan, 2014)
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Morrison (1927, 1928).
