Two new species, Microtropis longicarpa Q.W. Lin & Z.X. Zhang and M. daweishanensis Q.W. Lin & Z.X. Zhang, are described and illustrated from Yunnan, China. Both of them resemble Microtropis petelotii in the vegetative characters, and are also partly sympatric in the same forest. However, the three species have different flowering periods, foliar epidermis, structures of flowers and fruits. An identification key to the three species is provided.
