Comparative notes: Among the Nepalese Pselaphodes, the males of 15 species (out of 17 spp.) share the following traits: i) a modified base of antennomere 9, ii) a modified apex of antennomere 10, and iii) an endophallus of the aedeagus composed of one long and one short sclerite. These species seem to have undergone a relatively rapid speciation and form a group of putatively closely related species (here termed as ‘P. bagmatius species-group'). Pselaphodes bagmatius belongs to this group and can be readily separated from all similar congeners based on the unique spination of the legs, the shapes of the antennal club, the metaventral process, and the aedeagus.

Comparative notes: The new species belongs to the P. bagmatius species-group, and is most similar to P. smetanai described below in sharing similar forms of the antennal clubs, and the median lobe of the aedeagus being strongly extending apically. Pselaphodes psomus can be separated from P. smetanai only based on the slightly different position of the apical process of the antennomeres 9, the relatively longer metaventral processes with a different form of the apex, and the longer ventral spine of the profemora.

Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the round apical process of male antennomeres 9 of the new species.
