Comments: This species is already known from North Borneo. Formerly belonging to the genus Trachypeplus , this species was transferred by Péricart (1992) to the genus Pseudurentius Péricart (with P. elegens Péricart ) because of the short spines on the paranota and hemelytral margins. The specimens from Laos differ slightly by the more sharply developed spines, the darker color patterns, the higher hood, and the sutural area which is seven-eight areolae broad, not eight-nine. Also, the paranota are four areolae wide, whereas they are four to five areolae wide in the type of P. b o r n e e n s i s.
