Material examined. CHINA, Yunnan Prov.: 4 apterouS maleS, 3 apterouS femaleS, Menghai County, BulangShan village , Baizhangya waterfall (21°37'N, 100°30'E), 1212 m, 24 VII 2016, coll. Zhen Ye ( NKUM) ; 5 apterouS maleS, 6 apterouS femaleS, Mengla County, Yaozu village, Nanga River (21°41'N, 101°31'E), 835 m, 26 VII 2016, coll.

Remarks. A. yunnanus iS probably endemic to the XiShuangbanna region of Yunnan where it iS widely diStributed ( Fig. 55 ). SpecimenS have been collected near Shaded rockS, either in clear, Slow-flowing StreamS or by poolS at waterfallS ( FigS. 49, 50, 51 ). MaleS of thiS SpecieS can be eaSily diStinguiShed by the elongate, parallel- Sided proctiger (Fig. 42) and the long, Slender, blade-Shaped paramereS (Fig. 43).
