Remarks. – Brignoli (1983) mentioned this species in his catalogue of spiders, and pointed to the fact that Kayashima (1943) has to be considered as author. Haupt & Shimojana (2001) redescribed it based on material from the surroundings of Taipei, as the type material is apparently lost. As Latouchia formosensis also occurs in the southern Ryukyu Islands, two different subspecies have been distinguished. In the following another subspecies from central Taiwan is described.
