Description. Species of the psylloptera type.
Adult: head yellow, coronal suture and area around median ocellus brown; vertex covered by long setae. Clypeus brown. Antenna yellow, segment 8 and 9 brown; segment 9 without a long basal seta. Thorax brown and covered by long setae dorsally, yellow to light brown laterally and ventrally. Metascutellar horn small, pointed apically. Forewing transparent to light yellow, veins yellow to light brown, apically light brown to forewing margin; pterostigma light yellow. Forewing with long setae on veins (vein Rs with 28–35 setae); Rs vein marginally curved in apical third. Surface spinules present in all cells of forewing; radular spinules present in m2 and cu1. Legs yellow, last tarsal segment dark brown. Meracanthus long, curved laterally, pointed apically. Abdominal tergites brown, sternites including genitalia, yellow. Male paramere long, widest basally, tapering towards apex, long setae posteriorly visible from lateral view; inner surface with two hooks apically, two to ve stout setae in basal third. Measurements and ratios as in table 2A–C.
Fifth instar larva: colour unknown. Similar to P. palawanensis and P. boehmeriae . Measurements and ratios as in table 3.
Host plants. Trema orientalis (L.) Blume ( Ulmaceae ).
Distribution. Philippines (Luzon) ( Crawford, 1914) and Mindanao.
Material examined. Philippines: Lectotype, paralectotypes 2, 1, Luzon, Los Baños, 1927 (C. F. Baker); 4, 5, Camarines, 28 December 1974, Trema orientalis (R. D. Braza) ; 2 and 2 larvae same data but Mt Makiling, Laguna, 15 February 1976; 3, 4, Mindanao, February 1962 (M. R. Gavarra ) ( BMNH, USNM). Dry and slide mounted .
Comments. P. setifera (Crawford) is distinguished from other species of the psylloptera type by the longer and larger number of seta on forewing veins (gure 22E). Most records citing P. setifera (Crawford) need con rmation. To x the identity and status of P. setifera a lectotype is designated here.
