Distribution
Pseudocybaeota is endemic to the coastal Pacific Northwestern USA.[1]
P. butterfieldi is known from a single male from California; P. perdita is endemic to wet forests in Washington State. P. tuberculata was collected in the border area of California and Oregon.[1]
Etymology
The genus name means "false Cybaeota", referring to Bennett's initial belief that P. perdita should be placed in that genus.[1]
P. butterfieldi honors Californian Blues musician Paul Butterfield. P. tuberculata "refers to the roughened, tuberculate surface of the proximal arm of the tegular apophysis of the male genital bulb".[1]
