Abstract

A new species of psylloid, Pseudophacopteron calilungae Navasero, injurious to pili nut, Canarium ovatum Engl., is described. It is the third species under the genus Pseudophacopteron to be reported from the Philippines. Observations, so far, indicate that this species infests only the male trees during the flowering season.
