The described species of Pseudoeriopsylla genus are exclusively African and are characterised by the presence of a pterostigma and the absence of the costal break on the forewing. The prospection carried out since 2005 in the Western Region of Cameroon have permitted the collecting of this new species. Previously, Pseudoeriopsylla laingi, P. etoundii and P. bitomi were described from Cameroon. The new species is diagnosed and illustrated; compared with the known species; information is given on its distribution, host plant and biology. The new species was collected on Ficus platyphylla in Nkop village, ¶Foto grouping, Menoua Sub Division. It feeds on the leaves and young buds of Ficus platyphylla (Moraceae).
