Remarks.
We have examined the
holotype
of this species, which was the only member of the genus previously recorded from
China
. This species may be recognized by its densely hairy eyes (
Fig. 136
) and the leaf-like flattened ventral arolium (
Fig. 137
), character states which are different of those seen in other
Pseudovelia
species subsequently discovered in
China
.
