AB -<i>Agapetes wenpeiana</i> Bin Yang & Y.H.Tan and <i>Agapetes mingyuaniana</i> H.B.Ding, Bin Yang & Y.H.Tan, two new species of Ericaceae from Yingjiang County, western Yunnan Province, China, are described and illustrated. <i>Agapetes wenpeiana</i> is morphologically similar to <i>A. putaoensis</i> but differs in having dark red corollas in the late flowering stage, longer corollas and stamens, and anthers without spurs. It is one of only two Chinese <i>Agapetes</i> species possessing dark red corollas and strongly reflexed corolla lobes in the late flowering stage. <i>Agapetes mingyuaniana</i> is morphologically similar to <i>A. variegata</i> but differs in having ridged branchlets, shorter pedicels, longer corollas, stamens and styles, and anthers without spurs. It is unique among Chinese <i>Agapetes</i> species in combining ridged branchlets and corollas longer than 5.5 cm. Detailed descriptions, color plates and notes on these two new species are provided.
