根据云南菊头蝠多布森（RhinolophusyunanensisDobson，1872）在中国四川省、云南省和泰国的标本，对云南菊头蝠的分类进行了修订。发现泰国标本与中国标本在外部形态、颅部形态和核型上存在差异，从而得出结论，迄今为止的R. yunanensis实际上代表了两个不同的物种，包括一个新物种。根据采自泰国清迈的10个标本描述了该新种。它是皮尔逊组属中最大的物种，有一个大头骨和长耳朵。根据采自中国的标本重新描述了云南菊头蝠Rhinolophusyunanensis。在主成分分析中，新种与重新描述的R. yunanensis和R.皮尔逊尼。
The taxonomy of Rhinolophus yunanensis Dobson, 1872 (Chiroptera: Rhinolophidae) is revised by reference to specimens collected from the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, China, and from Thailand. The Thai specimens are found to differ from the Chinese ones in external and cranial morphology and karyotype, and it is thus concluded that what has hitherto been R. yunanensis actually represents two distinct species, including a new one. The new species is described on the basis of 10 specimens collected from Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is the largest species of the pearsoni group of the genus, with a large skull and long ears. Rhinolophus yunanensis is redescribed on the basis of specimens collected from China. In Principal Component Analyses of the cranial morphometric data, the new species was completely separated from the redescribed R. yunanensis and R. pearsoni.
