Psuedovelia takarai Miyamoto, 1964

(Figs. 2, 8, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60)

Material examined. CHINA, Guangxi Prov.: 8 apterous males, 10 apterous females, Shangsi county, Shiwandashan, 13 July 2019, Zhen Ye leg. (NKUM) .

Remarks. The specimens that we have examined closely match the original description provided by Miyamoto (1964). Pseudovelia takarai can be distinguished by its relatively dark ground color (Fig. 2, 8) and a short, nearly globular hind tarsal segment I (Fig. 30). Abdominal segment VIII (Figs. 36, 42, 48, 54) of P. takarai has a large, oval-like depression; the lateral margin of the depression has two tufts of setae and dense, suberect, black hairs; the longitudinal midline of the depression bears two rows of small bristles. The pygophore (Fig. 60) is slightly narrowed in the middle; the anterior margin has a pair of dense, long bristles. Based on current collection data, this species might have a wide distribution in the Oriental regions. This is a new record for China.

Distribution. China (Guangxi), Japan (Fig. 65).
