Pselaphodes paraculeus Huang, Li & Yin, 2018a: 468

Type locality. China: Guangxi, Wuming County, Daming Shan, 23°28′44″N, 108°26′06″E, 1500 m.

Additional material examined (1 specimen). LAOS: BOLIKHAMSAI: 1 ♂, ‘LAOS, 1-18.v.2001, Bolikhamxai prov., 18°21′N, 105°08′E, Ban Nape (8 km NE), ~ 600 m, V. Eubáň leg’ (MHNG) .

Comments. Pselaphodes paraculeus was originally described from Guangxi and Guizhou, southern China, and is here newly record from Bolikhamsai, central Laos. This species is externally similar to P. aculeus Yin, Li & Zhao, 2010, which is widely distributed in China, but can be separated from the latter by the median lobe of aedeagus with a round, rather than deeply concave, apex. Compared to that from Guangxi, the male from Laos shows little variation in the shape of aedeagus.

Distribution. China: Guangxi, Guizhou; Laos: Bolikhamsai(H UAN G et al. 2018; this paper). First country record for Laos.
