Distribution. Singapore, Thailand.

Remarks. This species was described from northeaster Thailand (Loei Province) and from mangroves of Singapore ( Shamshev & Grootaert 2005). New data show that T. luang is found at middle altitudes of 500-850 m above sea level. Tachydromia luang is closely related to T. ocellata sp. nov. sharing similar setation of the right surstylus (several spine-like sensilla on inner side).
