Abstract: Pseudoglomeris (Pseudoglomeris) sculpta (Bey-Bienko, 1958) Fig. 2 Glomeriblatta sculpta Bey-Bienko, 1958 a: 683 (in Russian); 1958 b: 594 (English version). Trichoblatta sculpta — Anisyutkin, 2003: 71. Pseudoglomeris sculpta (Bey-Bienko, 1958) — Li et al. 2018: 266. Pseudoglomeris (Pseudoglomeris) planiuscula (Brunner, 1893) — Li 2021: 9. Material examined. China • 1 male & 1 female, Yunnan Province, Ning’er Hani and Yi Autonomous County, Pu’er Mountain; 1638 m elev.; 23.0675°N, 101.0299°E; 22 Mar. 2024; Yi-Feng Liu, Peng-Hui Hu, Sen Chen, Tu-Nan Zhou leg; SWU -B-BB 103-1 to 2. Supplementary description. Male. The body is indigo-black, with sparse, fine, yellow hairs on the pronotum (Fig. 2 C). The surface of the legs is sepia-colored. The posterior lateral angles of the pronotum have a notch. The hind and middle legs lack spines along the posterior margin of the femur and the base. Diagnosis. The male of this species is similar to P. (P.) aerea (Bey-Bienko, 1958), which also has fine yellow hair on the pronotum. However, it can be distinguished by its indigo-black body surface, the notched posterior lateral angles of the pronotum, and weakly bifurcate terminal part of the hook-apex sclerite. The females of this species can be easily distinguished from P. (P.) aerea by the rough dorsal surface and their pit formula, [5, 6 or 7] in P. (P.) sculpta and [1 or 2] in P. (P.) aerea.
