ABSTRACT = {Two new orchid species, <i>Pinalia fuscinervia</i> J.D. Ya, Z.D. Han & H. Jiang and <i>P. brevistyla</i> J.D. Ya, Z.D. Han & H. Jiang, are described and illustrated from Yunnan, China. In addition, <i>Pinalia leucantha</i> Kuntze is newly recorded for China. <i>Pinalia fuscinervia</i> is morphologically distinct from <i>P. japonica</i> in its brown-veined leaf sheaths, falcate-lanceolate lateral sepals, an ovate and fleshy lip mid-lobe, and a lip disk bearing three yellow lamellae, with the median lamella inconspicuous. <i>Pinalia brevistyla</i> differs from <i>P. leucantha</i> in its lateral shorter sepals and petals; an orange-brown to dark purplish-red lip mid-lobe with irregular verrucate protuberances adaxially, a disk bearing a pair of tooth-like calli, and an extremely short, inconspicuous column foot.},
