Generic diagnosis
In apterae, body elongate oval, oval, or subcircular, aleyrodiform, and strongly sclerotized. Prosoma consisting of fused head, thorax, and abdominal segments I–VII, abdominal segment VIII free. Dorsum of prosoma reticulated, corrugated, convoluted, or with wax pores. Submarginal setae on dorsal prosoma distinctly spine-like, pointed or somewhat blunt at apices, sometimes arising from tuberculate bases. Dorsal spinal setae on prosoma minute, long and fine, or spine-like. Abdominal tergite VIII with 4 setae, similar to submarginal setae on dorsal prosoma. Eyes 3-faceted. Antennae concealed under head, 2–4-segmented. Legs short, concealed under body; tarsi small, unsegmented or 2-segmented; claws small, normal, or absent. Siphunculi absent. Cauda knobbed and constricted at base. Anal plate bilobed.
Distribution
China, India, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Host plants
Fagaceae (Castanopsis, Cyclobalanopsis, Lithocarpus, and Quercus) and Lauraceae (Litsea).
Comments
Only apterous viviparous females are known. The life cycles of most species are unknown. Parathoracaphis is related to Neohormaphis Noordam, 1991 in sharing the consolidated head, thorax, and abdominal segments I–VII and spine-like submarginal setae on prosoma.
