A list of 24 T Tauri stars belonging to the YY Orionis subclass is presented. From a statistical analysis it is estimated that at least 75% (and possibly all) UV-excess T Tauri stars are YY Orionis stars. Since about 50% of all known T Tauri stars show a strong UV-excess, the percentage of YY Orionis stars among the T Tauri stars is estimated to be 40 - 50%. This relative high percentage is in good agreement with the present theory of the formation and early evolution of low mass stars.
