Nomenclatural History

• Paraconchaspis Mamet 1959a: 421. Type species: Paraconchaspis major Mamet by original designation . accepted valid name

Remarks

• Structure: The adult female, as well as the nymphs of both sexes, of the species in this genus are covered by a scale formed by secretion of the underlying insect. In the general appearance the scale resembles that of species in the armoured scales family, Diaspididae. However, no exuviae are incorporated in a Conchaspididae scale, thus clearly distinguishing it from the Diaspididae.
