Systematics: Parlatoria artocarpi is most closely allied to P. marginalis and somewhat near P. aonidiformis, differing from both in the sclerotized anterior prosoma, the ventral derm pocket between antenna and anterior spiracle and shape of the pygidial lobes. It resembles P. machili in the possession of ventral derm reticulations on the segments behind the mouthparts but differs in the total absence of first and second abdominal duct tubercles and a dorsal anterior enlarged eye spot (McKenzie, 1945).
Structure: Adult female scale about 1.25 mm long and 0.75 mm wide, yellowish brown with a dark band centrally situated and running from the exuviae to the wax fringe at the posterior part of scale. Slide mounted female 0.50 mm long (McKenzie, 1945).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by McKenzie (1945).
