Remarks: This species was originally known from Bukit Timah, Singapore. New (1975) pointed out that the species resembles P. zanzibarensis Pearman (1934) in the form of the male hypandrium, phallosome and paraproct. However, it also closely resembles Hong Kong species in having two pegs on the male ninth tergite. The female gonapophyses of P. murphyi are also similar to those of P.validus Thornton ( Hong Kong, see below), but the two species differ somewhat in the form of the subgenital plate. The Sumatran specimens conform to the description of the female of Psocidus murphyi in fore wing venation and in genitalic details. This species has previously been recorded in Indonesia from Java, Flores and Timor.
