A new genus of the subfamily Coelotinae F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893, Yunguirius Li, Zhao & Li gen. n. is distributed, including two new species and three new combinations (all ex-Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999) from southwest China: Y. duoge Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♀), Y. xiangding Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♀), Y. ornatus (Wang, Yin, Peng & Xie, 1990) comb. n. (♂♀) (the type species of Yunguirius gen. n.), Y. subterebratus (Zhang, Zhu & Wang, 2017) comb. n. (♀) and Y. terebratus (Peng & Wang, 1997) comb. n. (♂♀). The molecular topologies supported Yunguirius gen. n. as a monophyletic group, with sister groups of Sinodraconarius clade, as: Yunguirius gen. n. + (Hengconarius + (Nuconarius + Sinodraconarius)).
