Pseudepitettix yunnanensis Zheng, 1995a: 343 View in CoL [description] (holotype— ♂, China: Yunnan prov., Simao County, in IZSNU, examined); Liang & Zheng,1998: 34; Liang & Jiang, 2004:117; Zheng, 2005: 31; Deng et al., 2007: 31, 402.

Type material examined. Holotype, ♂, China: Yunnan prov., Simao County, 12 IV 1974, IZSNU.

Notes. The species is not a Pseudepitettix species because the humeral angles of pronotum are absent; the fastigium of the vertex distinctly surpasses the anterior margin of eyes and the anterior margin of the fastigium of vertex is distinctly arcuate. It belongs to Epitettix Hancock, 1907 . Epitettix yunnanensis is easy to identify: the body is smooth; the vertex is much wider than one of the eyes; the median carina of the pronotum arch-like in profile, apex of hind pronotal process truncate.

Distribution. China ( Yunnan).
