Pselaphodes tianmuensis Yin & Li, 2010

Material examined (1 3, 3 ♀♀). 1 3, 1 ♀, labeled ‘ CHINA: Guangxi Province / Dayaoshan Mt., 7 km / 21.vii.2011, 1,200–1,400 m / J. Y. Hu & Z. W. Yin leg.’; 2 ♀♀, same label data, except ’ 16 km, 29.vii.2011, 800– 950 m. ’

Habitat. The individuals were sifted from the leaf litter of a mixed coniferous broad leaved forest.

Distribution. East China: Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi; Southwest China: Guizhou, Sichuan; South China: Hainan, Guangxi

Notes. Identification and distribution of this wide-spread species was discussed in detail in our last paper ( Yin et al., 2011). It is not a surprise that P. tianmuensis was also discovered in Guangxi. We suppose that its true distributional range may be even broader.
