Systematics: P. marginalis is most closely allied to P. artocarpi, from which it differs chiefly in the number and position of the ventral duct tubercles, fewer pygidial submarginal dorsal macroducts, the position of the vulva as compared to the anal opening and in the total absence of anterior prosomal sclerotization and ventral derm granulations. It also resembles P. aonidiformis to some extent (McKenzie, 1945).
Structure: Slide mounted adult females approximately 0.60 mm long and 0.50 mm wide. Submarginal, dorsal, pygidial macroducts represented by not more than 1 to 3 ducts on each side. Marginal macroducts present, relatively few, ranging from 9 to 14 on each side of the body, and 1 present between median lobes (McKenzie, 1945).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by McKenzie (1945).
