The type locality of is in Wuyishan Mountain, Fujian Province, China and, currently, this species is considered to be widely distributed in southern China and northern Vietnam. However, since this species was described, there have been very few reports of this species from its type locality.
We re-discovered from its type locality and collected one topotypic specimen. By comparing the sequence of the topotypic specimen of with the sequences on GenBank, we found that the so-called sequences of on GenBank do not belong to . Based on the topotypic specimen of , we re-describe this species and provide molecular data of the true for the first time. Combining the sequences on GenBank and literature, we consider that the population from Sichuan and Guizhou Provinces, previously regarded as , to represent a new species of . The taxonomic status of the populations previously considered as from other provinces of China and northern Vietnam still needs further evaluation.
[物种名称]的模式产地在中国福建省武夷山，目前该物种被认为广泛分布于中国南部和越南北部。然而，自该物种被描述以来，来自其模式产地的该物种报告非常少。
我们在其模式产地重新发现了[物种名称]并采集了一个地模标本。通过将[物种名称]地模标本的序列与GenBank上的序列进行比较，我们发现GenBank上所谓的[物种名称]序列并不属于[物种名称]。基于[物种名称]的地模标本，我们重新描述了该物种，并首次提供了真正的[物种名称]的分子数据。结合GenBank上的序列和文献，我们认为之前被视为[物种名称]的来自四川和贵州省的种群代表了[物种名称]的一个新物种。之前被认为是[物种名称]的来自中国其他省份和越南北部的种群的分类地位仍需进一步评估。
