Remarks

• Systematics: Pseudoparlatoria triangularis differs from other species of the genus by the absence of perivulvar pores and by its characteristic triangular shape (Mamet, 1954).
• Structure: Female scale flat, greyish, delicate; exuviae towards one side. Adult female triangular, with front end somewhat produced; prosoma shorter than postsoma; 0.7 mm long. Derm somewhat sclerotized. Pygidium elongate, broadly rounded apically. Median lobes moderately large, broadly rounded apically, separated by slightly more than the width of one of them, with a bifurcate gland spine between them. 2nd and 3rd lobes well developed, distinctly bilobulate, the whole lobe much broader than median lobe (Mamet, 1954).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Mamet (1954).
