Remarks

• Systematics: Neoparlatoria formosana is close to Parlatoria vateriae Green from India, but is different from it in the characters of the pygidium (Takahashi, 1931b). Ali (1970) states that Lindinger (1934:37) considered this species identical to Apteronidia uberifera.
• Structure: Female scale wide, very thin, flattened, about 1.25-1.50 mm long, 0.9 mm wide. 1st larval exuviae small, a little longer than wide, slightly indented on the front margin, situated on the anterior part of the 2nd exuviae, not extending beyond the margin of it, pale yellow. 2nd exuviae very large, occupying most of the scale, wide, pale yellow, slightly covered with white secretion. Body circular, with pygidium protruding, 0.44 mm long. Pygidium wider than long, narrowly chitinized on the margin of the posterior part, without distinct lines (Takahashi, 1931b).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takahashi (1931b).
