In this paper the following results are shown. Let \(M^n\) be a compact pseudoumbilical submanifold in \(S^{n+p}(c)\) with parallel mean curvature vector. Then \(M^n\) is totally umbilical in \(S^{n+p}(c)\) if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) \(\sigma\leq (4-3n)c+(4-2n)H^2+4Q\), where \(\sigma\) is the length square of the second fundamental form, \(H\) is the mean curvature and \(Q\) is the pointwise infimum of the Ricci curvature for \(M^n\); or (2) Ric\(\geq \{(n-1)-\frac{p-1}{3p-5}\}(c+H^2)\) for \(p\geq 2\), where Ric denotes the Ricci curvature of \(M^n\); or (3) Ric\(>\frac{n^2-2}{n+1}(c+H^2)\).
