Pseudophylus
Yasunaga, 1999: 183
(n. gen., desc., figs.); 2001: 178 (diag.).
Type
species:
Phylus stundjuki
Kulik, 1973
(original designation).
Diagnosis.
Recognized by elongated, or sub-oval body; uniformly distributed dark, sub-erect setae on dorsum; short head, narrow vertex; short antennal segment II, and rostrum (reaching apex of mesocoxa); simple and broad endosoma nearly J-shaped (
Fig. 6A
) and secondary gonopore located subapically.
Distribution.
Japan
,
Korea
(South), Russian Far East.
Discussion.
Kulik (1973)
described the
type
species of this genus as
Phylus stundjuki
due to the similar morphological appearance to that genus. Subsequently,
Yasunaga (1999)
erect
Pseudophylus
to accommodate the species showing differences like, small size, short head and antennal segment II, and shape of endosoma.
