Remarks

• Systematics: Parlatoria fluggeae appears to be close to P. multipora, but differs in the possession of only 3 plates between the 3rd and 4th pygidial lobes instead of 4, and in the fewer anterior and posterior lateral perivulvar pores. It is related to P. cinerea but differs in lacking the large, dorsal, intermediate pygidial macroducts. It also resembles P. virescens, but differs by the greater number of dorsal submarginal macroducts (McKenzie, 1945). Lindinger (1932f) incorrectly considered P. fluggeae to be a junior synonym of P. oleae.
• Structure: Female scale 1.0-1.25 mm long, 0.75-1.0 mm wide, very thin, delicate, often with plant tissue intermixed, grayish white. Male scale elongate and similar in color. Adult female 0.90 mm long, 0.75 mm wide (McKenzie, 1945).
• General Remarks: Detailed descriptions and illustrations by Hall (1929a), McKenzie (1945) and Takagi (1969a).
