A CENSUS AND ANALYSIS ON NEW VERTEBRATE SPECIES (INCLUDING NEW SUBSPECIES) IN CHINA DURING RECENT 35 YEARS

采用网上检索和手工查阅的办法统计了中国近35年来脊椎动物新(亚)种发现的情况。结果表明:35年来共发现了811个脊椎动物新(亚)种,20世纪80年代发现的新(亚)种数量最多,越低等的类群发现的新(亚)种数量越多,其中鱼纲的动物占了一半以上,在高等脊椎动物中发现的主要是一些亚种,新(亚)种的模式标本产地多在比较偏远的地方。最后,对统计结果进行了分析。

A census about new vertebrate species （including new subspecies） during recent 35 years in China was carried out by web search and manual check. The result indicated that 811 new vertebrate species （including subspecies） were found through this period and the number of new species （including new subspecies） in 1980＇ s was most. And the correlation between the number of new species and subspecies in vertebrate animal and evolutionary degree was negative linear and the number of fish beyond the half Most new subspecies were found in higher vertebrate animal. The localities of type specimens are the located areas almost in lonely. Approximately quarter of article about new species or subspecies published in Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica. Finally, we analyzed the census results and suggested that the taxonomy of vertebrate was still crisis.
