Note. This species is new to China. Baltazar (1972) designated the lectotype of Iphiaulax kirbyi Cameron and transferred it to the genus Campyloneurus . The species was never re-described, but the original description states well the distinct colour pattern of the fore wing (pterostigma partly blackish and yellow, with variable blackish area in first submarginal cell, membrane yellowish but darkened apically), the distinct sculpture of face (irregularly rugose) and the smooth triangular medio-basal area of the second tergite. Since the original description lists several important characters and fits well with the Chinese specimens from Yunnan, we refer the Chinese specimens to this species.
