Taxonomic notes.

The species has long been misplaced although the male genitalia illustrated already by Draudt in the original description (Draudt 1950: Plate 13, fig. 15), versus its closest relative, M. (M.) consanguis ( Guenée, 1852) (Plate 13, fig. 16). The subgenus Morphopoliana was erected by Hreblay and Legrain in 1996; Polia yuennana was transferred to Mythimna (Morphopoliana) in the 4th volume of the Noctuidae Europaeae series ( Hacker et al. 2002), using the World Checklist of M. Hreblay and A. Legrain.
