Mythimna (Morphopoliana) yuennana (Draudt, 1950) View in CoL

Polia yuennana Draudt, 1950, Mitteilungen der Münchner Entomologischen Gesellschaft 40: 27, pl. 2, fig. 6. Type-locality: [China] Yunnan, Atuntse. Syntypes: in coll. ZFMK.

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.
