Systematics: Parlatoria flava is close to P. mytilaspiformis, but differs in the scale being not so elongate, the 2nd and 3rd lobes smaller than median lobe, the 4th replaced by plates, the basal abdominal segment with fewer macroducts, the distribution of submarginal ducts on the pygidium. It differs from P. crotonis in the more elongate scale, the absence of a lateral spine on the prosoma, the distribution of ducts on the pygidium. It differs from P. pittospori in the narrower scale, the paraphyses more developed and the narrower lobes (Takahashi, 1951b).
Structure: Female scale elongate, oval or narrow, yellow, about 1.6 mm long. Body nearly subcircular, broadest at basal part of abdomen, without lateral spine (Takahashi, 1951b).
