Abstract
This study provides the first description of the male of Proparholaspulus ishikawai Liang & Hu, 1993, on the basis of specimens from the south of China. The leg chaetotaxy of Proparholaspulus is described for the first time. A key for all recognisable species of Proparholaspulus is provided.
