Systematics: Parlatoria abieticola and P. tsugicola have no close relatives among other known species of this genus. These two are similar to P. banksiae in having well-developed submedian series of macroducts, but are quite different from the latter in the characters of the pygidial margin (Takagi, 1977).
Structure: Adult female obovate, meso- and metathorax and basal abdominal segments gently lobed laterally, pygidium rounded along free margin. Derm membranous except for broad median region of dorsal surface of pygidium (Takagi, 1977).
Biology: This species was collected at an altitude of 3200 m (Takagi, 1977).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1977).
