Abstract

During the examination of archived specimens, we identified morphologically distinct individuals of the genus Murina. These distinct specimens were collected in 2023-2024 from Luchun County (Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve) and in 2019 from Mengla County, Yunnan Province, China. While some of the specimens superficially resemble M. balaensis and M. eleryi, they can be unambiguously distinguished from these species and all other congeners by a suite of external and cranial characteristics. Simultaneously, phylogenetic analyses and genetic distances based on mitochondrial cytochrome b and cytochrome c oxidase I genes also indicate the uniqueness of these specimens. Based on integrative morphological and phylogenetic evidence, we herein describe these specimens as a new species, Murina huanglianensis S. Li & Mou, sp. nov. For another specimen (KIZ20190169), morphological and molecular analyses confirmed its identity as M. annamitica. Since M. annamitica has not been previously recorded in China, it is herein reported as a first country record for China, with a redescription provided.

标题中国小蠊新种（翼翅目：小蠊科）和第一个小蠊记录。

在对存档标本的检查中，我们鉴定出了形态上不同的Murina属个体。这些独特的标本分别于2023-2024年在中国云南省芦春县（黄连山国家级自然保护区）和2019年在勐腊县采集。虽然有些标本表面上与M. balaensis和M. eleryi相似，但通过一系列外部和颅骨特征，它们可以明确地与这些物种和所有其他同源物种区分开来。同时，基于线粒体细胞色素b和细胞色素c氧化酶I基因的系统发育分析和遗传距离也表明这些标本的独特性。基于形态学和系统发育的综合证据，我们将这些标本描述为一个新种，Murina huanglianensis S. Li & Mou, sp. 11 .对于另一个标本（KIZ20190169），形态学和分子分析证实其为M. annamitica。由于M. annamitica此前未在中国被记录，因此本文报道为中国的第一个国家记录，并提供了重新描述。
