Pselaphodes torticornis Champion, 1925: 262 (fixed by original monotypy).

Labomimus torticornis: Yin & Li 2015: 337 (transferred from Pselaphodes ).

Additional material examined. 1 ♂, ‘ China: Yunnan, Gongshan Co., Dulongjiang To., Wuchaoi, 28°06′30.31′′N, 98°19′23.59′′E, 1925 m, 10.vii.2015, Chao Wu leg.’ ( SNUC). Distribution. Assam (north-eastern India); China: Yunnan (new country record) .

Comments. Labomimus torticornis was originally described from Assam in northeastern India, and here newly recorded from Yunnan, southwestern China. Compared to those of the population from the type locality (see: Yin & Li 2015: fig. 4), the population from China shows little variations in all external and genital characters ( Figs. 19B , 21 ).
