Comments.
Syndicus jaloszynskii
can be readily separated from all other congeners by its exceptionally large body size (over
4 mm
).
This
species was originally described from
Zhejiang
(
Fengyangshan
)
,
and
Fujian
(
Wuyishan
) (
Yin
et al
. 2014
)
.
Additional collecting records from
Hunan
(
Nanfengmian
)
were later published (
Yin
and
Li
2015).
The
present material broadens the known range of this species to the
Baishanzu Nature Reserve
in
Zhejiang
,
southwards to the
Nanling Nature Reserve
in
Guangdong
,
and the
Mangshan Nature Reserve
in
Hunan
.
