The genus Pseudognaptorina, with four described species, is endemic to the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.In this study, Pseudognaptorina is reviewed based on a combination of molecular and morphological datasets.A preliminary phylogenetic tree is reconstructed based on COI LIQUID MAKEUP ALMOND BEIGE #1020 sequences of four related genera within the subtribe Gnaptorinina.

Additionally, the geographical distribution of Pseudognaptorina is presented.Six new species are described and illustrated: Switches P.banbarica X.
