Comments. Pselaphodes paraculeus was originally described from Guangxi and Guizhou, southern China, and is here newly record from Bolikhamsai, central Laos. This species is externally similar to P. aculeus Yin, Li & Zhao, 2010 , which is widely distributed in China, but can be separated from the latter by the median lobe of aedeagus with a round, rather than deeply concave, apex. Compared to that from Guangxi, the male from Laos shows little variation in the shape of aedeagus.

Distribution. China: Guangxi, Guizhou; Laos: Bolikhamsai (H UAN G et al. 2018; this paper). First country record for Laos.
