Remarks

• Systematics: Parlatoria cingala is closely related to P. namunakuli, differing principally in having the 4th lobe broadly rounded rather than lanceolate (McKenzie, 1945). Chiraki (1913) misidentifies Aulacaspis yabunikkei as Parlatoria cingala (Scott, 1952).
• Structure: Female scale circular, flattish, pale yellow or brownish. Exuviae overlapping, pale yellow; sub-marginal. Male scale white or faintly tinged with yellow; oblong, posterior half depressed, with indistinct sub-lateral ridges (Green, 1899a).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Green (1899a).
