Systematics: The unusual shape of the adult female, together with the peculiar shape of the pygidial plates between the lobes, and the lack of accompanying ducts with these plates and those situated on the prepygidial abdominal segments, separate Parlaspis papillosa from other species of the genus (McKenzie, 1945).
Structure: Cover of female minute, oval; consisting of nymphal exuviae without any secretionary appendix, the disc rising abruptly into a hemispherical boss, bright yellow or ochreous, median elevation jet black, 0.5 mm long. Male cover creamy white or very pale ochreous, larval exuviae dusky olivaceous; elongate ovate, broader in front, appendix moderately convex, with a broad medio-longitudinal depressed groove, 0.7 mm long. Adult female broadest across the anterior thoracic area, tapering behind (Green, 1919c).
