Studies of the relevant literature and the holotypes of Latouchia fossoria, L. davidi, and L. cunicularia lead to the reestablishment of L. fossoriaPocock, 1901 as the type species of the genus LatouchiaPocock, 1901. L. davidi (Simon, 1886), long regarded to be the type species, is suggested to represent a separate species group within Latouchia, including L. davidi and L. stridulans. These two species differ from all other known Latouchia species by the presence of distinct ridges on the external faces of the chelicerae. The existence of different species groups within Latouchia reveal a previously unknown diversity in Asian Ummidiinae.
