In this study, we provide the first molecular data of <i>Amolopsminutus</i> and regard <i>A.ottorum</i> as a junior synonym of <i>A.minutus</i>. In addition, we report the first record of <i>A.minutus</i> from China, based on nine specimens collected from Guanyinshan Provincial Nature Reserve in southern Yunnan Province and present an updated diagnosis of this species, based on literature data and newly-collected specimens.
