Parascela is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Asia.[3][2] The genus is placed close to Basilepta. According to Romantsov and Moseyko (2019), however, the differences between Parascela and Basilepta are unclear, and Parascela can probably even be considered a species group within Basilepta.[4]

Species

  • Parascela cribrata (Schaufuss, 1871) – Vietnam, China (Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Taiwan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Ryukyu Islands
  • Parascela filimonovi Romantsov & Moseyko, 2019[4] – Northern Vietnam, Southern China (Yunnan)
  • Parascela hirsuta (Jacoby, 1908)[5] – Northeast India (Assam), Southern China (Yunnan)
  • Parascela rugipennis (Tan, 1988)[4] – Southern China (Yunnan)
  • Parascela tuberosa (Jacoby, 1887)[6][4] – Sri Lanka

Synonyms:

  • Parascela tuberosa Tan & Wang, 1983 (preoccupied by P. tuberosa (Jacoby, 1887)): synonym of Parascela rugipennis (Tan, 1988)[4]
