Systematics: Of the Paralecanium species which have only a single stigmatic spine in each spiracular cleft, adult female P. maculatum are most similar to those of P. acinaces, but differ most obviously in the shape and size of the dorsal setae, those on P. maculatum being rather short, stout and very blunt whereas those on P. acinaces are at least twice as long, with a sharp apex, and often appear blade-like. These two species also differ in (character-states for P. acinaces in brackets): (i) the large dorsal pores numbering about 40 per side (fewer than 25); (ii) the dorsal setae are not thought to extend into the submedial area (present in the submedial area), and (iii) the form of their marginal ornamentation. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female. Body oval, more pointed anteriorly than posteriorly; venter somewhat asymmetrical. Length 2.05 mm, width 1.4 mm. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
