Type species.

Pellenes ususudi Yaginuma, 1972 ; type locality Hidaka District, Hokkaido, Japan.

Comments.

Yaginumaella , a member of Plexippini ( Maddison 2015), is represented by 17 species restricted in east, south, and southeast Asia ( WSC 2024). The genus is relatively poorly studied because it has never been widely revised, and more than 35 % of species are known only from a single sex ( WSC 2024). Moreover, the relationship between the genus and Ptocasius Simon, 1885 remains controversial, and thus the generic position of many related species cannot be ultimately confirmed ( Logunov 2024; Wang et al. 2024).
