The odd-scaled snake genus Achalinus, which is widely distributed in northern Vietnam, China and Japan, a poorly-known group of snakes. Numerous species within this have been described based on few specimens or only single type specimen. Achalinushunanensis Ma, Shi, Xiang, Shu & Jiang, 2023 was two male from Huaihua City Changsha City, Hunan Province, China. To date, has recorded Province the information females not available. During our herpetological surveys 2024, Achalinus were collected...
A new species, Achalinus hunanensis sp. nov. , is described from middle and western Hunan Province based on the results of molecular systematics morphological characters. It diverges known congeners by a significant genetic divergence ( p -distance 3.2%–16.9% CO1 mitochondrial gene), it can be distinguished all following characters: (1) dorsal scales strongly keeled, 23 rows throughout body, outmost one keeled enlarged; (2) tail relatively short, TaL/TL 0.221 ~ 0.225; (3) maxillary teeth 23;...
A new species, Achalinusshenisp. nov., from central Hunan Province is described, based on the results of molecular systematics and morphological characters according to five specimens. Our phylogeny inferred mitochondrial CO1 gene fragment revealed that this species most closely related A.yunkaiensis, but a considerable amount genetic divergence exists between them (p-distance ranging 5.8% 6.4%) much distinct compared with other known Achalinus 10.4% 15.8%), supporting its validity....
Albinism is an uncommon phenomenon and inherited condition in animals characterized by a partial or complete lack of melanin. The family Xenodermidae Gray, 1849, group caenophidian snakes widely distributed South, East, Southeast Asia, including five recognized genera 36 species. However, there are currently no reports albinism any species Xenodermidae.

Achalinu ningshanensis (Yang, Huang, Jiang, Burbrink, and 2022) was first described in Ningshan County, Shaanxi Province, China 2022, based on seven female specimens. In this study, phylogenetic analyses using mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA (12S), 16S (16S), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), b (cyt b) gene fragments, morphological examinations of specimens, we revise the taxonomic status A. ningshanensis, provide additional data species. The molecular phylogeny indicated that is nested...
In this study, a new species named Scutiger luozhaensis sp. nov. is described from Luozha, southern Tibet, China. Genetic analysis based on two mitochondrial genes 16S rRNA and COI the nuclear gene RAG1 revealed that belongs to an independent phylogenetic clade close S. gongshanensis nyingchiensis shares no haplotype with other species. Morphological comparisons examined specimens literatures indicated it can be diagnosed congeners by following combination of characters: (1) body moderate,...
Aim: To collate and report new vertebrate species discovered in China 2022.Methods: This paper summarizes the basic information on discoveries published 2022, including 87 papers 1 annual of bird watching (http://www.birdreport.cn/).Results: In 120 were China, 98 to science, 17 not previously reported 5 valid upgraded from subspecies.These belong orders, 43 families, 71 genera.Among them are 30 fishes; 44 amphibians, 34 10 newly recorded China; 26 reptiles, 21 3 2 subspecies; 6 birds,...
