Pseudotachinus assingi Schülke, 2016: 646.

Material examined. 1 ♀: ‘ China: Yunnan, Lincang City, Yun County (云县), Manwan Town (漫湾镇), Binbuhe (丙布河), 24°41’22.75’’N, 100°22’37.33’’E, 1445 m, 22.iv. 2016, rotten wood, sifted, Zi-Chun Xiong leg.’

Comments. The present female can be readily identified by the presence of indistinct microsculpture only at the anterior part of the clypeus, posterolateral areas of the pronotum, and apical portion of the elytra, and by the long median pair of lobes of sternite VIII. The new record slightly extends the range of this species for ca. 75 km south from the type locality at Wuliang Mountain.

Distribution. China: Yunnan ( Fig. 5 ).
