“…Since 2014, the Southeast Asia Biodiversity Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences ( CAS-SEABRI ), has conducted several biodiversity expeditions to the northern Indo-China peninsula ( Li and Quan 2017 ; Li et al 2017 ). This region is considered a globally important biodiversity hotspot for flora and fauna ( Tordoff et al 2005 ), from where many species of mammals have been discovered or rediscovered since the 1990s ( Amato et al 1999 ; Geissmann et al 2011 ; Sanamxay et al 2013 ; Fan et al 2017 ).…”

The flying squirrel genus Biswamoyopterus (Rodentia: Sciuridae: Pteromyini) was once considered to contain three species, Biswamoyopterus biswasi from northeastern India, B. laoensis from central Laos and B. gaoligongensis from southwest China, all identified from morphological characteristics of one or two specimens. However, based on similar morphological characteristics of two samples of the genus Biswamoyopterus collected recently from northern Laos and northern Myanmar, and the small genetic distances on mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA between them, the results strongly support these two samples as representatives of the same species. The phylogenetic analyses strongly support Biswamoyopterus as an independent genus of Pteromyini, as a sister group to Aeromys. Biswamoyopterus biswasi is distributed in the northern Indo-China peninsula, where it is exposed to a series of threats, such as intense hunting activity, illegal trade, and rapid habitat loss; this should warrant its classification as critically endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. Here, the molecular data for genus Biswamoyopterus and two new specimen records from northern Laos and northern Myanmar are presented.

“…The spider family Psilodercidae Machado, 1951 was treated as a subfamily of Ochyroceratidae Fage, 1912until Wunderlich (2004 elevated it to the family level. Currently, it is known by 11 genera and 151 species distributed in Southern Asia from India to the Philippines (Li and Quan 2017;WSC 2019). The number of species in Psilodercidae has increased nearly threefold during the 21 th century (Platnick 2000).…”
