H. Aspöck et al. (1991), Liu et al. (2009). Parainocellia comprises presently Subilla three species which are eidonomically similar to each other and to other species of Inocelliidae presently in the genus Inocellia . By morphological characters of the male genitalia they can, however, easily be identified.
