Distribution
. Continental
China
(
Wang & Kishida 2011
),
Vietnam
(
Hirowatari 2007
).
Comments
. The morphological difference between
N. tanakai
and
N. fluorites
is rather small (
Hirowatari 2007
).
Liao
et al
. (2023)
published one barcode for each of these species; until the variation within each species is documented, the status of
N. tanakai
remains insufficiently supported.
