Systematics: Parlatoreopsis citri is close to P. pyri and P. tsugae with which it shares the presence of many submarginal ventral micropores going up to the thorax and the presence on the cephalothorax of ventral glandular tubercles submarginal as well as a group prothoracic. P. citri is unique in the absence of dorsal macropores on segments 1-5 and the absence of circumgenital glands (Matile-Ferrero, 1991).
Structure: Female scale oblong, clear brown, exuviae yellow. Adult female pyriform, 0.5-0.6 mm long. Pygidium with 2 pairs of lobes (Matile-Ferrero, 1991).
