• Ferris1942: pp.SIV-446:62 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to species of Pseudoparlatoria]

Remarks

• Systematics: The presence of a macroduct between the bases of the median lobes, the rather elongate pygidium and the row of marginal macroducts on the 4th abdominal segment definitely distinguish this species (Ferris, 1942).
• Structure: Female scale yellow, very thin and flat, circular, with the exuviae at one side. Slide-mounted adult female about 0.9 mm long, turbinate. Derm membranous throughout except for pygidium. Pygidium more elongate than in other species of the genus, 4th abdominal segment being definitely included within it. Median lobes not notched laterally, separated from each other by about the width of one of them and with a bifurcate gland spine between. 2nd lobes quite well developed, distinctly bilobulate. 3rd lobes distinct, but low and broad, bilobulate. Perivulvar pores in 4 groups. Margins of the prepygidial segments with none but a very few extremely small microducts (Ferris, 1942).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Ferris (1942).
