太行林蛙地理分布厘定

Geographical Distribution of Rana taihangensis

太行林蛙Rana taihangensis目前已知分布在河南、河北、北京和辽宁等地。根据采自宁夏固原和山东青岛的标本,报道宁夏回族自治区和山东省太行林蛙新分布记录。根据采集自内蒙古通辽和辽宁阜新的太行林蛙标本对其进行形态学补充描述。基于不同地区蛙属Rana标本线粒体cyt b基因的分子系统发育分析结果显示,山西省和陕西省为此前尚未记录的太行林蛙分布区。由此可将太行林蛙在中国的分布范围增加4个省(自治区),目前太行林蛙的分布范围则包括河南省、河北省、北京市、天津市、辽宁省、山东省、山西省、陕西省、宁夏回族自治区和内蒙古自治区。

Rana taihangensis is currently known to be distributed in Henan,Hebei,Beijing,Liaoning,etc.of China.This study reported the new distribution records of R.taihangensis based on the specimens collected in Ningxia and Shandong,and further described their morphological characters based on the specimens from Tongliao,Nei Monggol and Fuxin,Liaoning.The results of molecular phylogenetic analyses based on the cyt b gene of the genus Rana suggested that Shanxi and Shaanxi were the previously unrecorded provinces for the distribution of R.taihangensis.As a result,the updated distribution range of R.taihangensis in China should be Henan Province,Hebei Province,Beijing City,Tianjin City,Liaoning Province,Shandong Province,Shanxi Province,Shaanxi Province,Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,and Nei Monggol Autonomous Region.
