“…Urostylids, with more than 200 described species, are one of the largest groups in the subclass Hypotrichia (Berger, 2006). Studies from the past few decades have revealed that this group is even more diverse than previously thought, and many new species are likely awaiting discovery (Berger, 2006;Jiang et al, 2013;Jo et al, 2015;Kim et al, 2016;Song and Shao, 2017;Chen et al, 2018Chen et al, , 2020Zhu et al, 2019;Shao et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020a). In addition, some classifications at the family and genus levels within this group (e.g., Bakuellidae Jankowski, 1979 andAnteholosticha Berger, 2003), and their systematic relationships, remain confusing (for reviews, see Berger, 2006;Huang et al, 2014;Lyu et al, 2015Lyu et al, , 2018Moon et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020b).…”
