Remarks.

Wei and Yang (2007) considered P. autochthona as close to S. (Pseudothyrsocnema) caudagalli Böttcher, 1912, but we are here proposing a synonymy with S. (L.) kanoi . Wei and Yang (2007: fig. 72) illustrated the phallus of the holotype of P. autochthona as having a short, arm-like extension arising from the left lateral part of the distiphallus (probably the proximal part of the juxta) and a long, slender, process arising from the right lateral part of the distiphallus (Fig. 6). We consider this apparent asymmetry to be an artefact, and possibly an inaccuracy of the original illustration. This could not be confirmed because the holotype of P. autochthona, deposited in CDCP, has not been available for study through ordinary loan.
