Taxonomic Clarification of Myotis rufoniger from China
Regarding to Myotis formosus and M.rufoniger,there are confusions about species identification and usage in scientific and Chinese names.Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic methods,we conducted a taxonomic revision study on Myotis specimens collected from Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.Our results indicated that although their morphological characteristics were consistent with the descriptions of M.formosus in many Chinese literatures,they were M.rufoniger.Moreover,combined with the historical literatures,we suggested that M.formosus was a misinterpreted scientific name of M.rufoniger in China.Thus far,M.rufoniger mainly encountered in eastern China,while M.formosus,a similar species,was only recorded in Taiwan and Jiangxi.
