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]
