Remarks

• Systematics: Pseudoparlatoria elongata is distinct in its elongate body form. It resembles only one other species P. turgida, which differs in the fact that the body seems not to become sclerotized at maturity and that the submarginal zone of pygidial pores extends to the prepygidial segment (Ferris, 1941d).
• Structure: Female scale light brown or straw colored, elongate, quite slender, exuviae terminal. Male scale similar, but shorter. Adult female about 1.25 mm long, elongate oval. Derm membranous at full maturity. Median lobes well developed, with the usual pair of gland spines between. 2nd and 3rd lobes smaller than the median lobes, but well developed and both distinctly bilobulate (Ferris, 1941d).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Ferris (1941d).
