A new moss species, Ptychomitrium yulongshanum Cao & Guo, is described from fruiting material collected from Yunnan province, in southwestern China. The ovate, cucullate leaves with obtuse apices; small, smooth, upper and median leaf cells; oblong-ovate capsules; and mitrate calyptra covering only half the capsule are distinguishing traits of the new species.
