Abstract
The genus YunnanebaeusWittmer, 1996 is reviewed. Four new species, Y. uncinellus Tong & Yang sp. nov., Y. rectus Tong & Yang sp. nov., Y. forcipatus Tong & Yang sp. nov. and Y. furcatus Tong & Yang sp. nov. are described and illustrated. A new combination, Y. spinosus (Wittmer, 1995) comb. nov., is proposed after examining the type specimen. The structures of the elytral apices in female Yunnanebaeus, as well as the ultimate abdominal ventrite and pygidium, are reported and discussed for the first time. The generic diagnosis of Yunnanebaeus is updated. An identification key to all known species of Yunnanebaeus is also provided.
