Typespecies: Phlugiolopsis henryi Zeuner, 1940 Generic diagnosis.Body small. Micropterous. Head hypognathous. Fastigium verticis conical, apex obtuse, furrowed in midline. Eyes subglobular, protruding forwards or outwards. Apical segment of maxillary palpi slightly enlarged. Dorsum of head usually with 4 brown or black brown stripes. Anterior margin of pronotum slightly straight, posterior margin protruding backwards, lateral lobe longer than high, without humeral sinus. Ventral margins of all femora unarmed; procoxa with 1 spine, pro- and mesotibia with some spines on ventral margin, tibial tympana of protibia opened on both sides; genicular lobes of postfemur with apices obtuse, posttibia with 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Tegmina short, reaching or slightly surpassing posterior margin of pronotum, female tegmina overlaping. Hindwings absent. Male cerci variable, genitalia membranous; subgenital plate narrowing, subapex with styli on ventral margin. Female subgenital plate wider than long.

Body usually black brown.
Discussion. Yamasaki (1986)thought Phlugiolopsis yaeyamensisfrom the Ryukyu Islands is closely related to Xiphidiopsis minutusfrom Lushan (Guling), Jiangxi, China, and inferred that the true distributional area of the genus Phlugiolupsisis in the Indo-Chinese subregion of the Oriental Region, including the Ryukyus. Meanwhile, he deduced that P. henryimay also derived from the subregion. We analysed the distribution of the genus Phlugiolupsisin China, and considered that the differentiation center of the genus Phlugiolupsisis possible in the west mountain and hilly subarea of Central China.
