Comments.

This species was described from a single male from Bawangling, Hainan. The aedeagus of the holotype was lost during the dissection. Here we provide new illustrations of major diagnostic features of this species including the aedeagus, based on a second male specimen from Wuzhishan Mountain, Hainan. Pselaphodes pectinatus can be readily separated from all other congeners at the first sight by the greatly modified apical portion of the protibiae in the male.
