( Figs. 12, 13 View FIGURES 8 – 13 , 24 View FIGURES 14 – 25 , 36 View FIGURES 26 – 37 , 48 View FIGURES 38 – 49 , 60 View FIGURES 50 – 61 , 71 View FIGURES 62 – 73 , 84 View FIGURES 74 – 85 , 96 View FIGURES 86 – 97 , 108 View FIGURES 98 – 109 , 120 View FIGURES 110 – 121 , 132 View FIGURES 122 – 133 )
Pseudovelia pusilla Hecher, 1997: 45 ; Hecher, 2005: 61.
Remarks. We have examined specimens, including both apterous and macropterous morphs, which closely match the description provided by Hecher (1997, 2005). Hecher (1997, 2005) hypothesized that this species was closely related to P. buccula because of the similar structure of the buccula . In addition, we have another species, P. gnoma , that also appears related to P. pusilla , with both of these two species lacking long swimming hairs on the hind tarsus and possessing a similar morphology on male abdominal ventrite VIII. Within this assemblage, P. pusilla can be distinguished by its dull orange pronotum without a distinct rectangular orange marking anteriorly, and by the buccula , which is distinctly produced posteriorly.
Material examined. CHINA, Yunnan Prov.: 3 apterous males, 8 apterous females, Dehong, Yingjiang county, Tongbiguang village, Mulianhuatang, 20 May 2009, 1341 m, Bo Cai leg. (NKUM); 5 apterous males, 5 apterous females, 2 macropterous males, 2 marcropterous females, Dehong, Yingjiang county, Tongbiguang village, 20 May 2009, 1350 m, Min Li leg. (NKUM).
Distribution. China (Yunnan) ( Fig. 138 View FIGURE 138 ), Vietnam, Thailand.
