Genus Parastethorus Pang & Mao

Stethorus ( Parastethorus) Pang & Mao, 1975: 421 . Type species: Stethorus ( Parastethorus) yunnanensis Pang & Mao, 1975 , by original designation.

Pang & Mao (1975) established Parastethorus Pang & Mao, 1975 as a subgenus of Stethorus View in CoL with Stethorus ( Parastethorus) yunnanensis as the type species based on the parameres with many short, stout seta-like processes on the inner sides. Ślipiński (2007) raised it to a distinct genus based on the incomplete abdominal postcoxal lines and larval characters, particularly the presence of short, apically frayed dorsal setae. Li et al. (2015) reviewed the Chinese species of Parastethorus and provided a world checklist including 15 species. Only P. indira is known from India at present and undescribed species from other hosts (not listed here) will be dealt with separately.
