Pselaphodes jizushanusYin, Li & Zhao, 2011a: 471.
Additional material examined. 1 ♂, labeled 'CHINA: Yunnan [CH07-15], Baoshan / Pref., Gaoligong Shan, 29 km ESE / Tengchong, 24°55'37"N, / 98°45'09"E, / 2350 m, dev. decid. forest, litter, wood, / fungi sifted, 1.VI.2007, M. Schuelke'(cSch).
Diagnosis and description. Yin et al. 2011: 471; Figs 15A, 16. Measurements: BL 3.10, HL 0.63, HW 0.59, PL 0.63, PW 0.62, EL 0.80, EW 1.14, AL 1.04, AW 1.12; eyes each composed of about 40 facets. Aedeagus length 0.51, with slightly asymmetrical median lobe (Figs 16 J-L).
Distribution. Southwest China: Yunnan. Notes. This species was originally described based on a single male (Type-locality: Jizushan Mountain, ca. 25°57'37"N, 100°22'44"E, alt. 2400 m). The aedeagus of the holotype was unfortunately lost. Here we record a second male specimen of this species from Tengchong, Gaoligong Mountain, about 200 km southwest from the type locality, and have illustrated its aedeagus. Figure 15.
