This small-sized, brown species from Vietnam is similar to P. a b i a Malicky & Chantaramongkol from Thailand. Pseudoneureclipsis vetcat is easily separated from P. a b i a in the genitalia, particularly by possessing a short median finger on segment X; preanal appendages with papillose apical margins; simple coxopodites each with their distal part curving dorsad; and inferior appendages curving slightly mesad and wider at apical 1/4th.

Male. Forewing length 4.0 mm.

Male genitalia. Segment IX with equally large tergite and sternite, both with narrowing lateral rods articulating in lateral hinge joints. Segment X setose, long, triangular in dorsal view. Pair of paraproctal processes spine-like, without setae, distal parts curving slightly dorsad; basal parts fusing into U-shaped strap beneath phallic apparatus. Preanal appendages rounded quadrangular in lateral view; prolonged quadrangular in dorsal view; papillose along apical margins. Inferior appendages with coxopodites parallel-sided, rod-like, each with slightly dorsad-curving apical half in lateral view; apical 1/4th narrowing, slightly curving mesad in ventral view. Harpagones located basodorsally, each composed of elongate basal part with straight-cut dorsum articulating to coxopodite, and slender, posterad-hooked distal part; curving part spine-like with setae. Intersegmental membrane of each inferior appendage (articulation line between coxopodites and harpago) well visible. Phallic apparatus with broad phallobase continuing into straight, horizontal, tubular phallotheca; slightly constricted at mid-length; apical part curving ventrad; end of phallotheca and protruding endotheca visible; sclerotized structures visible inside apex. Protruding endotheca densely covered by minute microtrichia, 2 long horizontal spines, and group of short vertical microtrichiae in endothecal matrix. Holotype male: VIETNAM: Bac Thai Province, Quang Chu, 24–25.v.1987, at light [J. Oláh], (OPC). Paratypes: Same data as holotype, 7 males.

Etymology. Vet ca t, from Vietnamese “vet cat,” cut, referring to the straight-cut dorsum of each harpago of the inferior appendages.
