Type
species:
Pseudosymplanella nigrifasciata
Che, Zhang et Webb, 2009
, by original designation.
Diagnosis.
Coryphe and metope wide. Fore wings not narrowing or weakly narrowing apically, with long clavus and without nodal line. Abdominal sternites IV–VI each with deep lateral furrows, apparently separating sternites and pleurites, not reaching its hind margins. Hind margins of male pygofer with long filiform processes below anal tube. Penis tubuar, strongly curved (in lateral view), without processes basally.
Composition and distribution.
Three species known from southern
China
, northern
Laos
, and northern
Thailand
.
