Systematics: Microparlatoria fici is closely related to M. itabicola, differing in that the pygidial lobes are rounded apically (Takahashi, 1942b).
Structure: Female scale yellowish brown, dark green or blackish on the median areas of the larval exuviae, ovate, convex dorsally, about 1.0-1.2 mm long. Second exuviae subcircular, about 0.47 mm long and 0.42 mm side, with the abdominal segments distinct on the median area and with rhachis-like markings like the larvae of some Aleyrodidae. Body subcircular, a little longer than wide; cephalothroax with some minute setae on the submarginal area (Takahashi, 1942b).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takahashi (1942b).
