Paurocephala
Paurocephala is a genus of African, Oriental and Australian plant lice belonging to the Liviinae ; the genus was erected by David Crawford in 1913.
Mifsud and Burckhardt's review provides information on the distribution of species and their host plants: which include species in the families:
- Cannabaceae: notably the genus Trema
- Malvaceae: notably Abutilon, Gossypium, Kydia and Pterospermum spp.
- Moraceae: notably Ficus and Artocarpus spp.
- Urticaceae: notably Boehmeria spp.
Species
Paurocephala is now described as an "Old World genus with 9 Afrotropical and 42 Indo-Australian described species". Four species from the Americas, previously placed here, were not considered to be congeneric with the Old World species and have been transferred to the closely related genus Diclidophlebia.
