Poecilosomella pectiniterga ( DEEMING, 1964) View in CoL species group
DEEMING (1964) described a peculiar Poecilosomella species from Christmas Island, whose male tergite 5 was broadened on right side with 9–13 extremely long thick marginal setae (erroneously as “sternite 5” in PAPP’ s (1991a) key). This character is so impressive that it led me to assume that any and all specimens with such setae should automatically be assigned to pectiniterga . Nevertheless, HAYASHI (1997) described two additional new species with this character ( P. insularis from the Biak I. and Papua New Guinea and P. pappi from Sri Lanka and Malaysia). Below a fourth species is described from the Philippines. All identifications (published or not), made between 1964 and 1997 must be checked.
