Systematics: The description of the adult male of P. praelonga in Vea, 2014 acts as the generic diagnosis. The genus is classified in the tribe Ortheziini (Kozár, 2004) with Insignorthezia, Graminorthezia, and Orthezia. Praelongorthezia was defined based on adult female morphology and distinguished from these other genera by bands or rows of wax plates within ovisac and head of dorsum with sclerotized cephalic plates. (Kozár, 2004)

Slide-mounted specimens with 7- or 8-segmented antennae, with variable number, shape, size and type of setae; with flagellate sensory setae sometimes present on segments VII and VIII.
