Abstract
A single, authoritatively determined female of Pseudopyrochroa uniformis Pic, previously listed as incertae sedis and unknown since its description more than 60 years ago, has been discovered. It is redescribed, compared with related southeast Asian members of Pseudopyrochroa, and pertinent structures illustrated. Antennal configuration, general form of the cranium, surface sculpturing of the pronotum, and possibly color, are diagnostic for the species.References
