Pseudochoutagus Che, Zhang & Wang 2011

Genus Pseudochoutagus Che, Zhang & Wang, 2011 Pseudochoutagus Che, Zhang & Wang, 2011: 63. Type species: Pseudochoutagus curvativus Che, Zhang & Wang, 2011, by original designation. Diagnosis The genus Pseudochoutagus can be differentiated from all other genera of Parahiraciina by the following combination of characters (Che et al. 2011; Constant 2021): (1) head prolongated anteriorly by an elongate, straight, acutely pointed cephalic process; (2) vertex and distal half of frons with moderate median carina; (3) sides of body rounded; (4) metatibiae with seven apical spines; (5) anal tube of male spatulate and with apical margin weakly emarginate; (6) aedeagus with pair of long asymmetrical, basiventral processes projecting cephalad then reflexed and distally sinuate; (7) pygofer subrectangular in lateral view, without posterior process. Note The genus was described by Che et al. (2011) to include a species from Hainan Island in China. An additional species was described shortly after from North Vietnam (Gnezdilov & Constant 2012). The two new species described hereafter greatly extend the distribution of the genus to the south.
