The genus Pseudoxyethira currently consists of 60 described species from the East Palaearctic (2 species), the Oriental (45 species), the Afrotropical (4 species), and the Australasian (9 species) Regions (MORSE 2015). Two species of this genus are already known in China , P. levis (WELLS & DUDGEON 1990) ( Hong Kong ) and P. mador (MALICKY 2012) (Mt. Jing-gang-shan, Jiang-xi). In this study, P. thingana from Vietnam was found in southern China , Jiang-xi Province.
