- Pselaphodes wuyinus Yin, Li & Zhao, 2010: 23. Type locality: Wuyishan Mountain, Fujian, East China.
Type material examined
[Pselaphodes tianmuensis] Holotype: ♂, labeled ‘CHINA: Zhejiang Prov. / West Tianmushan Mt. / 17.v.2006, alt. 300 m / HU & TANG leg.’ (SNUC). [Pselaphodes wuyinus] Holotype: ♂, labeled ‘CHINA: Fujian Prov. / Wuyishan Mt. / Tongmu Villege / 28.vii.2008, alt. 800 m / QI & YIN leg.’(SNUC).

1 ♂, 8 ♀♀, labeled ‘CHINA: Anhui Prov. / Guniujiang N. R. / 29.iv.2005, alt. 320–380 m / HU & TANG leg.’; 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀, labeled ‘CHINA: Guangxi Prov. / Jinxiu County / Laoshan, 7 km / 21.vii.2011, 1200–1400 m / J. Y. Hu & Z. W. Yin leg.’ (all SNUC).
Diagnosis and description
Yin, Li and Zhao, 2010 (P22, figs 7, 19, 37, 38, 64, 65, 96, 114, 115, 133, 144, 162, 163, 181); Figs 16A, 17.
Distribution
East China: Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiagnxi; South China: Guangxi (new provincial record).
Comparative notes
The Pselaphodes tianmuensis group is based on this species. Pselaphodes tianmuensis can be separated from the other members of the group by the short, apically narrowed metaventral processes combined with the apically rounded median lobe of the aedeagus, the structure of the aedeagal endophallus, and its distribution.
Notes
The structure of aedeagal endophallus varies slightly among the populations from the listed localities. At this time we are not able to separate these populations at the species level.
