Parascela

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]
