Systematics: The apparent tendency of Parlatoria destructor to be pupillarial, together with a reduction of the pygidial lobes in the adult female suggest that it should only be doubtfully retained in Parlatoria (McKenzie, 1945).
Structure: Female scale approximately 1.0 mm long, elongate oval, dark brown, exuviae grayish brown, the 2nd stage female larger than adult female. This suggests pupillarity (McKenzie, 1945).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Froggatt (1914).
