Abstract
Many photos of solenostomes and lyrifissures, including large gd5, present in female and male Paraphytoseius santurcensis De Leon, 1965, that lacks seta S5, are given. A hypothetical model of Paraphytoseius having seta S5, as in P. cracentis (Corpuz and Rimando, 1966), is included in a line drawing showing all the solenostomes and the lyrifissures that may be present in a species of this genus.
