Systematics: Neoparlatoria miyamotoi has 2 pairs of pygidial lobes in the adult female like N. lithocarpicola, but it is easily distinguishable by the smaller pygidial lobes, the plates not being furcate apically, and the more numerous perivulvar pores. It is distinguishable from other species of the genus by lacking the 3rd lobes in the adult female (Takagi, 1969a).
Structure: Female body broadest across the base of the abdomen, thence abruptly narrowing posteriorly. Granulations of the derm just posterior to the mouth-parts. Pygidial lobes in two pairs, conical, often variously incised or serrate; 2nd lobes smaller than the median. Second exuviae of female with pygidium demarked from the remainder of the body by a transverse sclerotized fold. Median lobes set quite close, leaving a slender space between them, convergent, with the outer margin finely serrate (Takagi, 1969a).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1969a).
