Type species: Parabambusicola bambusina (Teng) Kaz. Tanaka & K. Hiray.
Notes: Parabambusicola was established to accommodate a known species Massarina bambusina Teng (Teng 1934; Tanaka and Harada 2003). Both P. bambusina and P. thysanolaenae Goonas. et al. were isolated from dead stems in terrestrial habitats (Teng 1934; Tanaka and Harada 2003), while our new species P. aquatica was found on submerged wood in freshwater habitats. (Notes from Dong et al. 2020)
