Type material examined: Lectotype ♂, present designation: “Nilgiri Hills / Pheidologitonetes setifer Cam. Type / M. Cameron. Bequest. B.M. 1955-147. / Syntype / Lectotypus ♂ Pheidologitonetes setifer Cameron, desig. V. Assing 2016” (BMNH) . Paralectotypes: 2 exs.: same data as lectotype (BMNH); 1 ♂, 1 ♀: same data, but “ H. L. Andrewes, Nilgiri Hills ” (BMNH) .

Comment: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from “Nilgiri Hills” found “In company with Pheidologiton affinis ” (CAMERON 1939). Five syntypes were located in the Cameron collection at the BMNH. The male labelled by Cameron as the “Type” is designated as the lectotype. For a detailed account of the external characters see the description by CAMERON (1939). Tergite and sternite VIII, as well as the primary sexual characters are illustrated in Figs 98–104. Secondary sexual characters were not observed; even tergite and sternite VIII are of similar shapes and chaetotaxy in both sexes.
