Remarks
- Systematics: Adult females showing most character-states typical of Paralecanium but with following combination of characters. Body generally widest posteriorly narrowing to a more pointed anterior end, and often asymmetrical. Dorsum becoming sclerotised at maturity, with areolations present. Preopercular pores present in groups submedially on abdomen, each group fused into a compound pore. Clear areas present or absent. Dorsal setae setose. With 2 or 3 other pore types, including a small simple pore and a smaller pore, perhaps with a microduct. Anal plates longer than combined width; anogenital fold with 3 pairs of setae on anterior margin, each lateral margin with 1 medially. Marginal ornamentation present as castellations. Marginal setae fan-shaped, broader than long. Marginal radial lines very clear, each quite broad near margin, with 11 around anterior margin of head, each side with 3 between stigmatic clefts and 11 on abdomen. Stigmatic rays absent but with a marginal radial line sometimes extending from each cleft. Stigmatic clefts deep and sclerotised, each with an elongate group of 5+ rather stout stigmatic spines extending radially onto dorsum. Multilocular disc-pores in transverse bands medially on abdominal segments V, VI and VII. Spiracular disc-pore bands complete. Ventral microducts few. Ventral setae few. Antennae 6 segmented but somewhat reduced, with variable setal arrangements. Spiracles rather small. Legs either well developed or reduced to leg-stumps. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
