Guangxi : Nandan ( Li et al. 1988 , Zhang et al. 1994); Sichuan : Emeishan! (NKUC); Yunnan : Sichuangbanna! (NKUC). Laos . [ Bokeo Province ]: Suang Prabang, ‘Pak Tha, Ban Thiou’! (BMNH). Taxonomy. Haematoloecha nigrorubra was described based on a specimen from Pak Tha District of the present Bokeo Province of northwestern Laos . Later H. yunnana was described based a specimen collected from the southernmost part of Yunnan Province of China , just neighbouring Laos . A single syntype of H. nigrorubra (hereby designated as lectotype ) and the holotype of H. yunnana have been re-examined and they are considered as conspecific, therefore H. yunnana is considered as a junior synonym of H. nigrorubra .
