Males of Y. jiugongensis comb. nov. are also similar to those of Y. palmgreni (compare Fig. 5 C – E with Marusik and Tsellarius 1986: figs 1, 2) in having an n-shaped sperm duct on the tegulum and a thick embolus, but Y. jiugongensis comb. nov. can be distinguished from Y. palmgreni by the following: conductor arising from the retrolateral part of the tegulum at the 2 o’clock position; and embolus curved (vs conductor arising from the retrolateral part of tegulum at the 12 o’clock position and embolus straight in Y. palmgreni). Females of Y. jiugongensis comb. nov. are similar to those of Y. serpatusa (Guan & Zhu, 1993) (compare Fig. 6 C, D with Esyunin and Efimik 1996: figs 3 – 5) in having a blunt scapus and the copulatory ducts almost as long as the diameter of the spermathecae, but Y. jiugongensis comb. nov. can be distinguished from Y. serpatusa by the parallel copulatory ducts (vs not parallel in Y. serpatusa). Females of Y. jiugongensis comb. nov. are also similar to those of Y. yunohamensis (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906) (compare Fig. 6 C – D with Yoshida 2003: figs 233, 234) in having a scapus and copulatory ducts almost as long as the diameter of the spermathecae, but Y. jiugongensis comb. nov. can be distinguished from Y. yunohamensis by having an obtuse scapus and straight, parallel copulatory ducts (vs scapus with two rounded ends and copulatory ducts curved and not parallel in Y. yunohamensis).	en	Zhong, Rui, Zhong, Yang, Zhang, He, Liu, Jie, Liu, Changyong, Chen, Kuai, Hu, Changhao (2025): Taxonomic notes on the genus Yunohamella Yoshida, 2007 (Araneae, Theridiidae) from China, with two new species.

Males of Y. lyrica are also similar to those of Y. subadulta (compare Fig. 7 D – F with Kim 2021: fig. 77 E – G) in having a sharp terminal conductor and a sperm duct curving four times, but Y. lyrica can be distinguished from Y. subadulta in having the conductor extend beyond the cymbium (vs. conductor not exceeding the cymbium in Y. palmgreni). Females of Y. lyrica are similar to those of Y. takasukai Yoshida, 2012 (compare Fig. 9 D – F with Yoshida 2012: figs 4, 5) in having a pair of projections on the anterlateral epigynal plate, but Y. lyrica can be distinguished from Y. takasukai by having oval, laminar projections on the anterlateral epigynal plate and long, curved copulatory ducts (vs nipple-like projections and copulatory ducts short in Y. takasukai).	en	Zhong, Rui, Zhong, Yang, Zhang, He, Liu, Jie, Liu, Changyong, Chen, Kuai, Hu, Changhao (2025): Taxonomic notes on the genus Yunohamella Yoshida, 2007 (Araneae, Theridiidae) from China, with two new species.
