AI Article Synopsis
- The study reveals that there is no significant morphological difference between the specimens analyzed by Orlov & Ho (2007) and Pham et al. (2019), indicating they belong to the same taxon.
- New molecular data supports the classification of the latter as a junior synonym of the former.
- Additionally, the research documents the first occurrence of this species in China, based on specimens from Yunnan Province, and updates the diagnosis of the species using both existing literature and new findings.
Article Abstract
Background: Based on the examination of specimens of Orlov & Ho, 2007 and Pham, Sung, Pham, Le, Zieger & Nguyen, 2019, we found that there is no significant morphological difference between them. Phylogenetic analysis also showed that and belong to the same taxon. In addition, we discovered the distribution of in China.
New Information: In this study, we provide the first molecular data of and regard as a junior synonym of . In addition, we report the first record of from China, based on nine specimens collected from Guanyinshan Provincial Nature Reserve in southern Yunnan Province and present an updated diagnosis of this species, based on literature data and newly-collected specimens.
