description: Paramyiolia yunnana (Wang, 1998) Comb. Nov. (Figs. 7, 17, 18, 23, 24, 29, 34–38).   
 Anomoia yunnana Wang, 1998: 156.   
TYPE MATERIAL  
HOLOTYPE: 3, CHINA: Yunnan: Xiaomengyang, 850 m, 28-III-1957, F.J. Pu; PARATYPE: 1♀, same locality as holotype, 810 m, 26-III-1957, D.H. Liu.  DIAGNOSIS  
 Paramyiolia yunnana can be distinguish from its congeners by the following combination of characteristics: 1) wing narrow, medially-interrupted C-band extending from DM-Cu to anterior apical wing margin and then along margin to slightly beyond apex of vein R 4+5; 2) scutum almost completely yellow brown; 3) male abdominal tergites 1-3 (Fig. 7) and female tergites 1-4 yellow brown; 4) male abdominal tergite 4 and female abdominal tergite 5 with a pair of large dark brown specks; 5) male abdominal tergite 5 and female tergite 6 dark brown; 6) female head with 2 pairs of frontal setae. This species is very similar to Japanese P. cornuta, but can be separated by the above characters 3-5 (see Figs. 7 vs. 8).   DESCRIPTION  
 Body (Figs. 7, 17, 18) predominantly yellow brown with tergites 4-5 in male and tergites 5-7 in female largely dark brown; setae brown to dark brown and setulae yellow brown; wing length 4.7-4.9 mm and thorax length 2.0- 2.2 mm. Male head (Fig. 23) yellow brown except dark brown ocellar triangle; frons brown, sparsely covered with fine yellow brown setulae, deeply concave with highly modified frontal setae; anterior 3 frontal setae greatly enlarged and flattened with only 4th seta of normal size; 2nd frontal seta about 0.7x, 3rd seta 0.4x, and 4th seta 0.3x as thick as 1st seta; lengths of frontal setae in series decreasing from anterior to posterior (as 1.0 - 0.9 - 0.8 - 0.7x); fronto-orbital plate associated with enlarged setae sharply elevated; frontal-head ratio 0.40, eye ratio 0.73-0.74 and genal-eye ratio 0.12-0.14; inner vertical seta 0.7-0.8x longest diameter of eye; outer vertical seta 0.6x as long as inner vertical seta; postocellar seta 0.4x as long as inner vertical seta; paravertical seta 0.5x as long as postocellar seta; ocellar triangle dark brown; ocellar seta 1.3-1.6x as long as ocellar triangle; antenna with aristal-antennal ratio 1.7-1.8; scape and pedicel with yellow brown setulae; arista short pubescent, yellow brown; parafacial narrow, about 0.2-0.3x as wide as flagellomere 1; facial ridge with short fine pale setulae; genal seta yellow brown; postgena moderately swollen with long yellow brown setulae; postocular setae extended 0.6x distance from upper eye margin to lower eye margin; supracervical setulae yellow brown; maxillary palp with brown apical and subapical setulae. Female head similar to that of male without frontal modification (Fig. 24); frontal-head ratio 0.37, eye ratio 0.76 and genal-eye ratio 0.12; with only 2 pairs of frontal setae. Thorax predominantly yellow brown with dark brown to brown setae and yellow brown setulae; scutum heavily pruinose yellow brown; dorsocentral seta about 0.4x distance from level of intra-alar seta to postsutural supra-alar seta; scutellum slightly convex, almost bare with few tiny marginal setulae, basal seta 2.1-2.6x as long as scutellum and apical seta 1.4-1.8x as long as scutellum; proepisternum densely covered with long yellow brown setulae; anepisternum with lower seta slightly shorter than upper seta; lower half of katepisternum dark brown; mediotergite shiny yellow brown. Legs yellow brown with yellow brown setae and setulae; fore femur strongly swollen with 6-7 posteroventral setae; midtibial spur 1.2- 1.5x as long as midtibia width. Wing (Figs. 17, 18) hyaline with brown to yellow brown pattern; typical Anomoia - type pattern with narrow, medially-interrupted C-band extending from DM-Cu to anterior apical wing margin and then along margin to slightly beyond apex of vein R 4+5; crossvein DM-Cu strongly oblique forming apically pointed cell dm; basal area enclosed by pterostigma, crossvein R-M, and basal half of cell DM-Cu almost entirely dark brown except for hyaline spot covering middle 1/3 of cell c; wing-thorax ratio 2.2-2.3, vein R 4+5 ratio 2.6-2.7, vein M ratio 0.55-0.59 and subcostal-costal ratio 0.42; R 4+5 with 8-15 tiny setulae between node and crossvein R-M.   
Male abdomen (Fig. 7) about as long as wide; tergites 1-3 yellow brown; tergite 4 with pair of large dark brown specks; tergite 5 dark brown; sternites 1-4 yellow brown; sternite 5 brown; epandrium (Fig. 29) dark brown and surstylus yellow brown; lateral surstylus with both anterior and posterior lobes angular, truncate apically in lateral view; glans (Fig. 34) with distinct subapical lobe; acrophallus abruptly narrowed near apex, directed downward at about 75 degree angle; dorsal sclerite without extensive sculpture pattern found in most other genera of the subtribe Chetostomatina; vesica relatively large, about 0.4x as long as sclerotized portion of glans.  
Female abdomen with tergites 1-4 yellow brown; tergite 5 dark brown except narrow yellow brown mid-stripe; tergite 6 dark brown; sternites 1-5 yellow brown; sternite 6 brown; oviscape (Figs. 35 and 37) dark brown with 2 long ventral marginal and 2 long dorsal marginal setae; eversible membrane (Fig. 37) cylindrical, without any strong teeth; dorsal and ventral taeniae extending almost entire length of eversible membrane; aculeus (Fig. 36) long, slender, with apex laterally flattened with serrated apex; 3 spherical spermathecae with transverse spinules (Fig. 38); apical portion of spermathecal duct not swollen.
