Discussion:
The single specimen listed above closely agree with the description of
S. jiangxiensis
by
Yang & Yang (1990)
. Specimens identified by
Stark and Sivec (2007)
tentatively as “
S. jiangxiensis
” are
S. starki
. The material listed by
Stark and Sivec (2007)
was collected from Mount Longwangshan in
Zhejiang Province
. Mount Jinggangshan, the
type
locality of
S. jiangxiensis
is in southwestern
Jiangxi Province
of southeastern
China
, adjacent to
Fujian
,
Guangdong
,
Hunan
, and
Zhejiang
provinces. This location is geographically connected with the Nanling Mountains (

).
