Parascela is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South, East and Southeast Asia.^[3]^[2] The genus was originally placed in the tribe Adoxini, but is now placed close to Basilepta in the tribe Typophorini. Parascela differs from Basilepta by having a densely punctured pronotum with weak lateral carinae, and elytra that are covered with setae or rugose, though Parascela can probably even be considered a species group within Basilepta.^[4]
