Pselaphus heisei

Continuing the Pselaphinae series, here is the type species of the type genus of this subfamily. It was described by the German entomologist Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst in 1792. I've found it with the help of amateur entomologist friends, sifting the litter of a marsh. Body length is about 1.5 mm.
