Material examined. 1 ♂, 1 ♀ labeled ‘ CHINA: Yunnan Province, Gongshan Hsien, Qiqi, alt. 1900 m, 2-VII-2010, Liang Tang leg’. 11 sex?: same data label as above-mentioned.; 1 ♀ labeled ‘ CHINA: Yunnan Province, Gongshan Hsien, Heiwadi, alt. 1800 m, 26-VI-2010, Liang Tang leg’. 1 sex?: same data label as above-mentioned.

Measurements. BL: 4.51–5.31; FBL: 2.32–2.72; HW: 0.71–0.73; PL: 1.07–1.11; PW: 0.82–0.84; EL: 0.73–0.76; EW: 0.91–0.92; SL: 0.50–0.56.

Comments. When Assing described A. cameroni from Nepal and India, he omitted to compare the species with A. yunnanensis . The illustrations of the male aedeagal median lobe of A. cameroni Assing, 2003 (illustrations of A. cameroni see Assing, 2003: 7) agreed well with that of A. yunnanensis (Figs 2A, 5). Therefore, these two species may be conspecific. Futher research on the types of these two species is needed.
