Nomenclatural History

• Parlatorea ephedrae Lindinger 1911: 129. Type data: IRAN: Kerman, on Ephedra nebrodensis, 12/04/1892; E. intermedia, 11/04/1892; Kuh-i-Dschupar, E. nebrodensis var. procera, 12/04/1892. Syntypes, female, Type depository: Hamburg: Zoologisches Institut und Zoologisches Museum, Universitat von Hamburg, Germany; accepted valid name Notes: Lindinger (1911) misspelled the genus epithet Parlatoria when he described ephedrae.
• Genaparlatoria ephedrae (Lindinger, 1911); MacGillivray 1921: 255. change of combination
• Fiorinia africana; Hall 1922: 35-36. misidentification (discovered by Hall1925, 16).
• Parlatoria ephedrae (Lindinger, 1911); Hall 1925: 16. change of combination Notes: Hall's treatment of Parlatoria ephedrae is not really a change of combination since the species was described in Parlatoria. However, for the purposes of this database each unique spelling combination of a species must be included and so Hall's usage is here because Lindinger used Parlatorea as the original spelling of the genus.
• Parlatoria ephedrarum (Lindinger, 1911); Borchsenius 1937: 186. misspelling of species epithet
• Syngenaspis ephedrae (Lindinger, 1911); Borchsenius 1950: 172. change of combination
• Archangelskaia ephedrae (Lindinger, 1911); Bodenheimer 1951: 331. change of combination

Remarks

• Systematics: P. olgae is close to P. asiatica and P. ephedrae, but can be told from the former by the absence of circumgenital glands and the shape of the pygidial lobes and from the latter by the well-developed pygidial lobes and black larval exuviae (Borchsenius, 1964).
• Structure: Adult female body oval, with 2-3 disc glands next to the anterior spiracles (Borchsenius, 1964). Slide-mounted adult female oval, membranous at maturity. Antennae each with 1 seta. Anterior spiracles each associated with 0−2 disc pores; posterior spiracles without associated disc pores. Pygidium with 2 pairs of lobes or lobes completely absent; median and second lobes (L1 and L2), when present, narrow, without notches, each the same size as a plate. Plates fimbriate distally, numbering 15−18 on each side, present on margins of segments V−VIII; plates on segments II−IV tubuliform. Dorsal macroducts of 3 sizes present: marginal macroducts large, numbering 4 on each side of pygidium Male scale cover linear. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2021)
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Borchsenius (1964).
