This paper reports the occurrence of the subfamily Pselaphinae in the Wumeng Mountains, Yunnan, Southwest China. A total of eight species have been recognized, all of which are described as new: Arthromelodes punctiventris sp. nov., A. weii sp. nov., Batrisiella ordinaria sp. nov., Batrisocenus asper sp. nov., Tribasodites ocellus sp. nov., and T. pectoralis sp. nov. of the tribe Batrisini Reitter, 1882; Nipponobythus flamma sp. nov. of the tribe Iniocyphini Park, 1951; and Triomicrus wumengmontis sp. nov. of the tribe Brachyglutini Raffray, 1904. Illustrations depicting the habitus and diagnostic features of these species are provided to facilitate accurate identification. Additionally, a key to the species of Pselaphinae of Wumengshan is included. A related species, Arthromelodes pengzhongi (Jiang & Yin, 2017) comb. nov., is transferred from Batriscenellus Jeannel, 1958 to Arthromelodes Jeannel, 1954.
