Material examined: 1 ♂, 1 ♀; CHINA, ‘aeṁẇẎḆ 市ū陵ḎữṘƗIJ, 2016.IV.22 N, 376 m, 29.3385°N, 110.5898°E, Ẓợ ^: ṃừǿ Ľm ẅ, Ḥḿ ( China : Hunan, Zhangjiajie City, Wulingyuan District, Wenfeng Village , Hong-Bin Liang & Kai-Dong Zhao leg., light trap)’ ( IZCAS) GoogleMaps .

Comments: This species can be recognized and readily separated from its only congener, Taiwanophodes magnus Bekchiev, 2010 from northern Vietnam by the enlarged antennomere 10 with a ventral impression, and the markedly elongate ventral lobe on the left side of the aedeagal median lobe. In contrast, T. magnus has the antennomere 10 bearing a distinct projection at the apex, the antennomere 11 is strongly constricted at the base, and the median lobe of the aedeagus is in general gradually narrowing toward the apex ( Bekchiev, 2010: figs 2-3, 7-8). The population from Hunan shows little morphological variation compared with those from Taiwan and Hainan.

Distribution: The species was originally described from Taiwan, subsequently recorded from Hainan, and is here newly recorded from Hunan (ca. 1100 km north of Hainan) (New provincial record).
