Notes. Based on the original descriptions and illustrations of Yunnantettix thaicus and Yunnantettix nanensis ( Storozhenko & Pushkar, 2015; Zha et al., 2016), as well as based on the additional specimens from China, these species are considered conspecific. Yunnantettix thaicus differs from congeners in the fastigium of vertex in dorsal view between eyes 3–3.5 times as wide as eye; anterior margin of fastigium is broadly rounded; in lateral view, median carina of pronotum almost straight in front of tegmen, but it is slightly concave near the shoulders, and sinuous posteriorly; and the apex of hind pronotal process with weak excision.

Distribution. China and Thailand. Here, this species is recorded in China for the first time.
