Pseudohercostomus sinensis Yang & Grootaert, 1999

Yang & Grootaert, 1999: 262 (figs. 25–27: 25: wing; 26: antenna; 27: male terminalia).

The collections at China Agricultural University in Beijing were recently relocated and the type specimen was not found during the present study, so the presence of uniformly set small bristles on the anterior part of the mesoscutum, a wide metepimeron, and rows of anterodorsal combs on mid and hind tarsi could not be confirmed. The species might not be congeneric with Pseudohercostomus . This is suggested by the parallel-running vein R 4+5 and M 1 in P. sinensis , while in other species such as P. singaporensis , new species, P. echinatus , and P. congoensis , new species, veins R 4+5 and M 1 are weakly diverging.
