Distribution. China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.

Remarks. The species is recorded in China for the first time. Xenophasmina bedoti ( Redtenbacher, 1908) comb. nov. was misplaced in Rhaphiderus Serville, 1838 (Tropidoderinae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893, Monandropterini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893) and here transferred. Xenophasmina similis ( Redtenbacher, 1908) is the corresponding sex of this species and here synonymised. This species is widely distributed over Indochinese Region and has been expected to occur in southwestern parts of China.
