Pselaphotrichus Besuchet, 1986

The genus comprises seven species. One of them, P. indicus (Jeannel, 1960) , has been reported from the Indian subcontinent. It was described from Dehra Dun and placed in Trichopselaphus Jeannel, 1949 , a junior homonym replaced by Pselaphotrichus . The newly examined collections comprise a single female that clearly differs from P. indicus by the much longer scape and long erect setae situated on the pronotal and elytral discs. This species is probably new. We decline to describe it in absence of at least one available male.
