Systematics: Parlatoria yunnanensis is close to P. cinerea, but is distinct. In P. cinerea there is a longitudinal row of 3 or more pores on each side of the anal opening, and the submedian series is made up of a single or irregularly double row of pores which extends from a point anterior to the anal opening almost to the base of the 3rd lobe. In yunnanensis, there are no such pores on each side of the anal opening and the submedian group is quite compact, forming an irregular cluster or a convoluted line of 10 or more pores and in addition a submedian cluster of pores is present on the prepygidial segment (Ferris, 1950a).
Structure: Female scale about 2.0 mm long, oval, white, quite flat, with exuviae at one end; both exuviae more or less gray or with a slightly greenish tinge. Male scale shorter than that of female, elongate, slender, same texture and color as female; exuviae apical. Adult female about 1.0 mm long. Median pygidial lobes broad, straight and parallel, apically rounded, with very slight crenulation of the lateral margin toward the apex. 2nd and 3rd pygidial lobes low and broad, giving the appearance of pointing toward the midline (Ferris, 1950a).
