Remarks

• Systematics: Parlatoria boycei resembles P. oleae and P. multipora in the occurrence of 4 pygidial plates between the 3rd and 4th lobes. It differs from P. oleae by having a larger anal opening situated about mid-pygidium and a ventral vulva in the same position, whereas in P. oleae the anal opening is smaller and situated about one-third of the length of the pygidium from pygidial apex, and the vulva is located approximately mid-pygidium (McKenzie, 1952).
• Structure: Female scale 2.25 mm long, 1.50 mm wide, oval, moderately convex, white or gray, with brownish to brownish-black exuviae, 2nd exuviae not exceptionally large, more or less covered with wax. Adult female about 1.50 mm long and 1.25 mm wide when mounted. Submarginal dorsal macroducts numerous, observed range from 124-151 on each side. Three pairs of well developed pygidial lobes present, all similarly broad and stout (McKenzie, 1952).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by McKenzie (1952).
