Abstract

Two new species, Pselaphodes linae Yin & Li, sp. n. (Hainan, Fujian) and P. shii Yin & Li, sp. n. (Hainan) are described from South China. Taiwanophodes minor Hlaváč is reported from outside Taiwan for the first time. Illustrations of major diagnostic features are provided for all treated taxa. The latest key to Chinese Pselaphodes is modified to include the new species.
