This paper describes a new species of Heizmannia (Mattinglyia) yingjiangensis sp. nov collected from Tongbiguan Nature Reserve, Yingjiang County, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China in August 2020. The main features of the new species include a uniformly dark proboscis; the mesoscutum densely covered with light yellow narrow scales, the paratergite with dark black manes and without scales, and the posterotergite with fine scales; the urotergite uniformly and densely covered with dark blue broad scales with a metallic luster. Males have antennae of about the same length as the proboscis, with whorls of plumose hairs on them; and the distimere of the male genitalia is not enlarged, with a well-developed dorsal basal inner lobe, which has 2 coarse spiny bristles and 5 spiny bristles with slightly curved ends and a number of fine manes. The type specimens are preserved in the mosquito collection room of Yunnan Institute of Parasitic Diseases.
