This species was originally described from Hubei Province, China as Oedothorax rimatus by Ma & Zhu (1990) . It seems to be especially closely related to the Chinese and Japanese Gongylidioides onoi Tazoe 1994 (= Aprifrontalia quadrialata Gao, Xing & Zhu 1996 ), but is easily distinguished by the less strongly developed head elevation on the male carapace, the absence of a deep distal hollow on the paracymbium, as well as by the less strongly narrowed epigynal plate.
