Uropoda hirschmanni Hiramatsu, 1977: 17 .

Uropoda hirschmanni .— Wiśniewski & Hirschmann, 1993: 207; Wiśniewski, 1993: 277.

Material examined. Two females, Vietnam, Tam Dao, submontane foggy forest, litter sample, 1200 m, 16 October 1988, J. Starý coll (one female in HNHM, one in ISB).

Remarks. This species belongs to the Uropoda spiculata group. When Hirschmann (1979) established this group, he did not mention the common characters of the Uropoda spiculata group. According to our studies the supposed common apomorphic characters for this group are follows: (1) marginal shield reduced and caudally subdivided into 4–5 pairs of small platelets; (2) peritremes s-shaped, (3) female genital shield oval, with anterior process, (4) well sclerotised dorsal characters absent.
