Summary: | In this study, we reassessed the taxonomic position of
(Rodentia: Platacanthomyidae) from Huangshan, Anhui, China, based on morphological and molecular evidence. Results suggested that
is comprised of up to six species, including four currently recognized species (
,
,
, and
), one unconfirmed candidate species, and one new species (
). Morphological analyses further supported the designation of the Huangshan specimens found at mid-elevations in the southern Huangshan Mountains (600 m to 1 200 m a.s.l.) as a new species. |
