This species was described from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China, based on eight females and two males observed from Miscanthus sinensis View in CoL and Perotis indica ( Poaceae View in CoL ). Unfortunately, it was not available for this study. In the original description, Zhang and Tong stated that P. yunnanensis View in CoL is closely related to P. priesneri View in CoL . However, although priesneri View in CoL has antennal segments III and IV with (1+2) and (2+2 +1) sense cones respectively, yunnanensis View in CoL was described as having (1+1) sense cones on these segments. This species likely to be more closely related to P. flavicornis View in CoL also from China rather than priesneri View in CoL ( Ananthakrishnan 1956; Pitkin 1976). Moreover, no clear distinction from flavicornis View in CoL can be found in the original description, and further study is needed.
