Material examined. 1 ♀, labeled ‘ CHINA: Sichuan (17), Qingcheng-Shan, NW Chengdu, 650–700 m, 30°53’57’’N, 103°32’23’’E, 3.–4.06.1997, M. Schülke / Sammlung M. Schülke, Berlin / M. SCHÜLKE Coll. Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae, Hamotopsis sp. 2, S. Nomura det., 2005 / Horniella sp. 5, ♀, det. Z.- W. Yin, 2014’ (pcMS).

Measurements. Female (Fig. 50 E). BL 3.50 mm, HL 0.71 mm, HW 0.67 mm, PL 0.71 mm, PW 0.67 mm, EL 0.96 mm, EW 1.38 mm, AL 1.12 mm, AW 1.40 mm. Each eye composed of about 40 facets.

Distribution. Southwest China: Sichuan (Map 1).

Remarks. The much deeper median sulcus between the antennal tubercles, the presence of a shorter median carina, and a pair of long discal carinae on tergite IV leads to the probable separation of this female from H. dao, which is distributed in the higher altitude of the Qingcheng Shan. The female genital complex (Fig. 52 E) is illustrated for reference to future study.
