Type locality. China (Chekiang: Lin-hai).

Remarks. The species was synonymized with Amynthas minimus (Horst, 1893) (Easton 1981; Blakemore 2002), but Shen and Yeo (2005) re-validated this species. A. zoysiae differs from A. minimus in lower setal number and larger prostate glands (Shen & Yeo 2005: 22).
