In this work, a new species of the genus is described, named Yu, Luo, Lan, Xiao & Zhou, , collected from the Damingshan Mountains of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Phylogenetic trees constructed based on the mitochondrial Cyt showed that the new species represents an independent evolutionary lineage, with uncorrected genetic distances (-distance) from congeners ranging from 6.1% to 8.9%. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from five other species of the genus by a combination of characters. The discovery of this new species raises the number of known species of from five to six. Our study suggests that may be a complex containing multiple species and that previously recorded areas need to be further delimited and reevaluated.
在这项研究中,描述了该属的一个新物种,命名为Yu, Luo, Lan, Xiao & Zhou, ,采自中国广西壮族自治区的大明山。基于线粒体细胞色素构建的系统发育树表明,该新物种代表一个独立的进化谱系,与同属其他物种的未校正遗传距离(-距离)在6.1%至8.9%之间。在形态上,该新物种可通过一系列特征组合与该属的其他五个物种区分开来。这一新物种的发现使该属已知物种数量从五个增加到六个。我们的研究表明,该属可能是一个包含多个物种的复合体,之前记录的分布区域需要进一步界定和重新评估。
