Paurocephala is a genus of African, Oriental and Australian plant lice belonging to the Liviinae (previously it has been placed in the obsolete subfamily Paurocephalinae or tribe Paurocephalini); the genus was erected by David Crawford in 1913.

Mifsud and Burckhardt's review provides information on the distribution of species and their host plants: which include species in the families:

Species

Paurocephala is now described as an "Old World genus with 9 Afrotropical and 42 Indo-Australian described species". Four species from the Americas, previously placed here, were not considered to be congeneric with the Old World species and have been transferred to the closely related genus Diclidophlebia. The 2002 review included the following:
