Diagnosis
.
Pseudoplites hamali
is morphologically similar to species of
Geoffmonteithia
,
Eurynassa
and some species of
Cnemoplites
. It can be separated from
G. queenslanda
by having distinct lateral spines on protibia and distinctly longer prosternal process extending well beyond procoxae. It is distinguished from all
Eurynassa
species by having elongate antennomere 3.
Pseudoplites hamali
can be separated from
Cnemoplites
species by having shiny, smooth area on the centre of pronotum.

Notes
.
Our examination of both female
types
found them being morphologically identical and distinguished from
Cnemoplites
females by the following characters: antennomere 3 long, about 1.5 times of antennal scape and twice as long as antennomere 4; tarsi surface very rough, covered with spines and dense nodules; the whole body more or less flattened dorsally.
