Comment.

Newly recorded from Vietnam and known elsewhere from southern Yunnan, China and northern Laos. The above specimens fill in a distribution gap between the southern Chinese and Laos localities. Bolitogyrus confusus may also occur in northern Thailand. The specimens were collected by beating wooden trail posts that had weathered, cracked, and become fungusy in the constant humidity.
