A new noctuid species, Apamea yunnana sp. n. is described from the yunnan Province, S China. The moth is superficially similar to A. ferrago (Eversmann) and to the recently described A. nekrasovi Mikkola, Varga & Guylai but differs from these in the details of the forewing pattern and more so in the structure of genitalia. The adult and the male genitalia of the new species are illustrated.
