Remarks

• Systematics: Adult female P. neomaritimum are morphologically very similar to those of P. hainanense and P. machili. Paralecanium neomaritimum differs from P. hainanense as follows (character-states for P. hainanense in brackets): (i) a long seta is present on the ventral surface of each trochanter (absent); (ii) the anal plates are clearly longer than their combined widths (plates approximately as long as their combined widths), and (iii) the large dorsal pores are about 4–5 μm wide (about 7 μm wide). Paralecanium neomaritimum differs from P. machili in the presence of large dorsal pores (absent on P. machili) and in having dissimilar claw digitules (similar on P. machili). (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
• Structure: Unmounted material. Derm black. Slide-mounted adult female. Body broadest posteriorly; sometimes showing some asymmetry, particularly ventrally. Length 2.2–2.4 mm, width 1.8–1.9 mm. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
