Geographical distribution pattern of Calamotropha in China To date, 27 species of Calamotropha have been recorded in China , with altitudes ranging from 15 m to 1740 m . Fifteen of these species ( C. abrupta sp. nov. , C. aequilata sp. nov. , C. baibarella , C. brevilinella , C. dentatella , C. duofurcata sp. nov. , C. formosella , C. franki , C. josettae , C. multicornuella , C. sawtoothella , C. shichito , C. sienkiewiczi , C. subterminella and C. unispinea sp. nov. ) are endemic to China ( Figure 6 ). According to the general distribution of Calamotropha , these species are distributed in two subregions with distribution of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest: C. aureliella , C. doii and C. fulvifusalis are only recorded in the north, whereas the other species are known in the south with the exception of C. aureliella , C. paludella and C. okanoi , which extend to the region lying to the north of latitude 35 ◦ . We can see that the region lying to the south of latitude 35 ◦ and east of longitude 95 ◦ has very high species diversity, which is shown by the dot-dashed lines in the distribution map ( Figure 6 ). However, little is known about the larvae and the life history of Calamotropha , and the relationship between the distribution of Calamotropha and the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest remains unclear. Possibly, the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest can provide a suitable habitat for the majority of Calamotropha species.
