Systematics: With its long sharply pointed lobes and reduced semilunar pores, P. vateriae is very distinct from other Parlatoria species (Green, 1919c). Takagi (1969a) felt that P. vateriae was very close to Neoparlatoria.

Thoracic area and pygidium rigid and indurated, the former with a small translucent oval space on each side of the rostrum (Green, 1919c).
