Material examined.

China - Yunnan Prov. • 1♀; 100 km W Baoshan, Gaoligongshan Nat. Res. ; 14-21 June 1993; E. Jendek & O. Sausa leg.; NMW .

Distribution.

China (Yunnan), Myanmar.

Remarks.

The species was originally described from Myanmar, and was recorded from China by Yang, Zhou & Schillhammer in 2011 based on the one female mentioned above. However, there were some inconsistencies concerning morphometrics in that paper: The character used in the key "ratio of eye longitudinal diameter to temple length <3", applies only to the male. However, the measurements of female T. malaisei in the same paper were written as "CL: 0.98; PO: 0.28", and the ratio of CL/PO should be 3.5 by calculation, which conflicts with the key. Thoracostrongylus malaisei is most closely related to T. brachypterus sp. nov.; for diagnosis of these two species, see under the latter.
