Countries: 1

Systematics: The adult female of P. pahanense is rather similar to those of P. busoense, described as new above, both species sharing (i) two sizes of dorsal setae, with the larger setae spinose and located submedially and (ii) only one stigmatic spine in each cleft. For a discussion of differences, see under P. busoense. The presence of the large dorsal setae immediately separates these two species from all other Paralecanium species. Long setae medially on dorsum are also present on Discochiton vacuum. Note that these larger setae can be easily lost and then the basal sockets look very like large dorsal pores.
