Remarks

• Systematics: Pseudoparlatoria punctata is unique in the extension of the dorsal macroducts to the 3rd abdominal segment and by the row of small marginal macroducts (Ferris, 1942).
• Structure: Female scale roughly circular, white or slightly gray, thin and papery, exuviae at one side. Male scale similar to that of female, but slightly elongate, exuviae terminal. Adult female about 0.6 mm long, turbinate. Pygidium with the median lobes moderately large, separated by slightly less than the width of one of them and with the usual bifurcate gland spine between. 2nd lobes well developed and distinctly bilobulate. 3rd lobes weakly developed, outer lobule sometimes being merely a point (Ferris, 1942).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Ferris (1942).
