Remarks

• Systematics: Paralecanium macrozamiae is quite similar to P. frenchii but differs as follows (character-states for P. frenchii in brackets): (i) the anal plates are much narrower, generally with a seta placed medially (broader, and no seta near middle of inner margin); (ii) the larger dorsal pores extend much further anteriorly onto the head, and each has large micropores (extend only to the metathorax, and each pore has small micropores), and (iii) the dorsal setae each have a blunt apex (flagellate). (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female. Body oval, slightly more pointed anteriorly than posteriorly. Length 3.5–3.8 mm, width 2.1–2.6 mm. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Hodgson & Williams, 2018.
