The species was previously described based on male specimens from Jiangxi Prov., and this is the first record of its female. The male of Derops schillhammeri Schülke previously known from Jiangxi Prov., China. It is very similar to Derops shuckburghae Rougemont, from Thailand (Rougemont 2003[2]: 998-999, plate 1, 2 (figs 1, 3-6, 8)).
