Parlatoriini


Parlatoriini is a tribe in the armored scale insect family Diaspididae. Takagi indicated that the Parlatoriini appear to be phylogenetically related to the Smilacicola and the Odonaspidini. Takagi went on to say about the tropical east Asian Parlatoriini that, The current classification of their genera may be largely tentative because the adult females are simple-featured and much modified owing to the pupillarial mode of life, and also because the second instar nymphs are generally similar among parlatoriines, whether the adult females are pupillarial or not. Andersen found that separating out pupillarial forms into a separate subtribe, Gymnaspidina, was counterproductive, as being non-dispositive.
Molecular analysis has shown that the Parlatoriini as traditionally constituted is highly non-monophyletic and that the genera, and occasionally species, are interdigitated with the Aspidiotini.
In 2019, Normark et al. published phylogenetic research on the family Diaspididae, reclassifying many of its tribes, subtribes, and genera.
