Comments. Tetrabothrus puetzi was compared to the original description of T. taiwanensis Pace and the illustration of a paratype of T. taiwanensis (Fig. 5), and we conclude that the major diagnostic characters of these two species are very similar. We suspect that these two species may be conspecific. A further examination of the types of these two species is required for a positive statement..

Distribution. China: Yunnan (Fig. 6).
