Material examined. Many individuals collected throughout the year.

Distribution. Cosmopolitan.

Remarks. E. petersi was collected from living foliage, predominantly in wet and mixed forests, and rainforest. Considerable colour variation has been found in this species, from that of the original description (and also the description of E. australis ) to specimens that are extremely pale, lacking any brown body coloration and spots on the wings. ERS has examined material of Ectopsocus sp. E of Cole et al. (1989), and they are clearly of this species.
