To identify the mosquito species and distribution in border regions of Yunnan province, China, the investigation and sampling, separate breeding, specimen preparation, and taxonomic identification were performed on mosquito larvae in various types of breeding sites in Yingjiang county, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, from August to September, 2020. A new species, Armigeres (Leicesteria) pseudoflavus sp. nov., was first discovered and reported among a batch of Armigeres specimens collected from standing water in bamboo stems. The identifying characteristics of this new species are similar to those of Ar. (Lei.) flavus in adults and larvae. The type specimens are kept in the Mosquito Collection of Yunnan Institute of Parasitic Diseases.
