Distribution. Myanmar (Yawnghwe States)*.

Discussion. This species was synonymized by Storozhenko (1990) without specific interpretation, here we have provided male descriptions of T. (G.) beresowskii ( Adelung, 1902) where the specimens we examined were collected more closer to the type locality of this species. Comparing the genitalia of male and the subgenital plate of female of these two species proved that the male epiphalli and the females subgenital plates differ distinctly between both species (compare Figs 36-38 with 94-96). Tachycines (Gymnaeta) adelungi Chopard, 1921 can be reinstalled as a valid species.

Specimen not studied.
