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).
