Importance and distribution

Paraboeremia comprises nine species known on several host plants in Lauraceae, Rosaceae, Selaginellaceae and Theaceae. Paraboeremia has been reported from Asia (China (Guizhou, Jiangxi, Taiwan)) and Europe (Italy). Paraboeremia has been reported to produce Lycopodium alkaloids (Ishiuchi et al. 2018).
