The Landrevus species group includes four Velarifictorus species that are related to Landrevinae crickets (Velarifictorus elephas Gorochov, 1992, Velarifictorus bubalus Gorochov, 1992, Velarifictorus gradifrons Ingrisch, 1998, and Velarifictorus landrevus Ma, Qiao & Zhang, 2019). A new species of the group is discovered in the Yunnan Province of China, and it is described and illustrated here. Velarifictorus yunnanensis Liu & Yin, 1993 is recognized as a junior synonym of Velarifictorus flavifrons Chopard, 1966. The morphological variety of V. flavifrons ectoparamere is documented and studied.
