Systematics: Parlatoria arengae is close to P. proteus, from which it is distinguishable by the prosomatic tubercles rounded (produced into spiniform processes in P. proteus), by the gland tubercles complete, not disappearing in any group and tending to be more numerous, by the derm pockets absent, by the perivulvar pores more numerous and by the pygidial lobes little dilated (Takagi, 1969a).
Structure: Body oval. Peribuccal granulations present. Derm pockets absent. Median lobes longer than wide, little dilated, with a deep subapical notch on the outer side, and with a less distinct notch on the inner side slightly more apically; 2nd lobes practically as large as the median, 3rd smaller, these lateral lobes often lacking the inner notch. 4th lobe replaced by a membranous process, not distinguishable in shape from the adjacent glanduliferous plates (Takagi, 1969a).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1969a).
