Parlatoria proteus (Curtis, 1843) (Diaspididae: Parlatoria)Nomenclatural History
- Aspidiotus Proteus Curtis 1843b: 676. Type data: ENGLAND: on succulent leaf, maybe Aloe sp. or Amaryllis sp., by J. Curtis. Syntypes, female, Type depository: Melbourne: National Museum of Victoria, Victoria, Australia; accepted valid name Illustr.
- Diaspis parlatoris Targioni Tozzetti 1867: 14. Type data: ITALY: Florence, on Phytelephas macrocarpa. Syntypes, female, junior synonym (discovered by McKenz1945, 55). Notes: Types presumed lost.
- Parlatoria orbicularis Targioni Tozzetti 1868: 735. nomen nudum (discovered by Signor1869, 867).
- Parlatoria proteus (Curtis, 1843); Signoret 1869d: 867. change of combination
- Parlatoria selenipedii Signoret 1869d: 450. nomen nudum (discovered by Lindin1932f, 204). Notes: Signoret (1869d) states that his Parlatoria selenipedii is the same as Targioni Tozzetti's P. orbicularis and that they are both junior synonyms of P. proteus. However, we have been unable to find a valid description of P. selenipedii and so it is considered a place nomen nudum.
- Diaspis monserrati Colvée 1881: 21-24. Type data: SPAIN: Valencia, in Botanical Gardens, on Citrus sp.. Unknown type status, unknown, junior synonym (discovered by Lindin1912b, 367). Notes: Type material apparently lost. Parlatoria monserrati has been considered to be a synonym of several species. Bodenheimer (1930) states that Diaspis monserrati is apparently synonymous with Parlatoria zizyphi, this is erroneous since the scale of P. monserrati is gray or light brown, while that of P. zizyphi is black. Gomez Menor (1937) lists this as a possible junior synonym of P. pergandii, but we feel this is incorrect since P. pergandii has 4 pairs of lobes while P. monserrati has 3. Borchsenius (1966) lists this species as incertae sedis and Martin Mateo (1983) agrees with Lindinger (1912b) who states that D. monserrati is a junior synonym of Parlatoria proteus. We agree with the latter and place P. monserrati in synonym of P. proteus based on Colvée's illustration and description which shows 3 pairs of lobes, the female scale cover as gray and the male cover as transparent.

Remarks
- Systematics: Parlatoria proteus appears to be closely related to P. pergandii, but may be separated from it by the presence of spur-like eyespot on the prosoma and the considerably lesser numbers of submarginal pygidial macroducts (McKenzie, 1945).
- Structure: Female scale elongate, more or less oval, transparent brownish yellow, whitish toward border. Exuviae rounded oval. Male scale is light brown with black exuviae (Comstock, 1883). Slide-mounted adult female subcircular. Anterior spiracles each associated with 1−3 disc pores. Thoracic marginal tubercles small but conspicuous, spiniform. Derm pocket present between posterior spiracle and margin. Pygidium with 3 pairs of well-developed lobes, each lobe with 1 notch on each margin; fourth and fifth lobes (L4 and L5) present, but smaller than other lobes and resembling plates. Plates distally fimbriate, those medial to L3 slender; wider plates present lateral to L3 anteriorly to about abdominal segment II. Dorsal ducts not numerous, present around margins and submargins as far forward as segment II. A group of small submedian ducts present at base of pygidium. Perivulvar pores present in 4 groups. Ventral duct tubercles present on submarginal areas of prosoma and segment I. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2021)
- Biology: We have been unable to find information pertaining to the life history of this species. On orchids it apparently reproduces slowly in the greenhouse; each female produces up to 30 eggs (Zahradnik 1968). Both parthenogenetic (Nur 1971) and sexual races (Schmutterer 1952b) are reported. Scales may be found on the leaves or branches of the host. (Miller & Davidson, 2005).
- Economic Importance: Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a serious and widespread pest. Proteus scale is considered to be a serious pest of ornamentals in Florida (Dekle 1977). It is a minor pest of citrus in Florida, China, Southeast Asia, Egypt, Argentina, (Talhouk 1975), and Brazil (Bondar 1914), and occasionally is found on avocado (Ebeling 1959). It also has been reported as a greenhouse pest of orchids and palms (Weigel and Sasscer 1923); lilies and amaryllis (Baker 1993); and bananas in the Canary Islands and Madagascar (Chua and Wood 1990). Beardsley and González (1975) consider this to be one of 43 major armored scale pests, and Miller and Davidson (1990) treated it as a serious world pest. (Miller & Davidson, 2005).
- General Remarks: Detailed descriptions and illustrations by Takagi (1969a) and Williams & Watson (1988). First-stage male described and illustrated by Howell & Tippins (1977). Malta was included in the distribution of this species on the authority of Borg (1922), but he gave no precise indication of its occurrence in Malta. Therefore, since Parlatoria proteus was not listed by later workers studying the scale insect fauna of Malta (not even by John Borg himself), and the species was not collected by Mifsud, et al., 2014, it was excluded from the Maltese fauna.
