Pseudachorutes jianxiucheni n. sp. has 11-15 vesicles in the postantennal organ, mandible with 4-5 teeth, a relatively small body size, and tenent hair on tibiotarsi. Pseudachorutes wandae n. sp. has minute body setae and long sensorial setae; postantennal organ composed of 16-18 simple vesicles, and very small size. The new taxa are described and illustrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
