Most closely related to Tylototriton dabienicus, Tylototriton anhuiensis and Tylototriton broadoridgus, and previously confused with Tylototriton asperrimus according to the original publication. In the Tylototriton (Yaotriton) wenxianensis species group of Poyarkov, Nguyen, and Arkhipov, 2021, Taprobanica, 10: 4–22, who discussed phylogenetics. In the Tylototriton asperrimus group of Lyu, Wang, Zeng, Zhou, Qi, Wan, Li, and Wang, 2021, Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 71: 697–710, who discussed phylogenetics.
