Remarks
Remark The original paper mentioned approximately 30 specimens [including holotype (XGMRM) XMGM6, IVPP V7391.1- 11 and unnumbered specimens]. According to ICZN Article 72.4.5, referred specimens published in the same paper should also belong to the type series, and specimens other than the holotype should be paratypes. Therefore, this book changes these specimens from referred specimens to paratypes.
