Abstract
BACKGROUND: Buforubroventromaculatus Orlov, Ananjeva, Ermakov, Lukonina, Ninh & Nguyen, 2024 is a species recently described from Vietnam. Currently, this species is known from central and northern Vietnam and it uncertain whether this species is distributed in China. In addition, the original description of this species is very brief. NEW INFORMATION: Based on nine specimens collected from Yunnan Province and Guangxi Autonomous Region, China, we provide the first confirmed record of Buforubroventromaculatus from China. The morphological characteristics of the specimens from China mostly agree with the original description of B.rubroventromaculatus and, phylogenetically, the specimens from China clustered with the type series of B.rubroventromaculatus from Vietnam. We also provide a supplementary description of this species, based on the specimens we collected.
