Systematics: Parlatoria multipora is closely related to P. fluggeae, but differs from it in the possession of 4 plates, instead of 3, between 3rd and 4th pygidial lobes and a greater number of anterior and posterior lateral perivulvar pores. It is also related to P. cinerea and P. virescens (McKenzie, 1945).
Structure: Adult female approximately 1.25 mm long, 1.0 mm wide. Dorsal submarginal macroducts relatively numerous, ranging from 40 to 79 on each side, with an average of about 60. Three pairs of well developed, slightly converging pygidial lobes, the median pair largest, usually once notched on inner and outer margins; 2nd and 3rd lobes approximately the same size, once notched on outer margin only; 4th lobe represented as an unsclerotized, rounded projection of the margin (McKenzie, 1945).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by McKenzie (1945).
