Eurycercidae Kurz 1875

Description

Family Eurycercidae Kurz, 1875

Eurycercus (Eurycercus) lamellatus (O. F. Müller, 1785). Records: Uéno 1937: 205 (a pool at Wuchagou Town; Xing’an Mountain; swamps in Wusuli district; Yüeh-pien-pao, Hei-chü-tze and Raohe, now northeast of China); Chiang 1964: 78/10–13 (a pool along the left bank of Buerjin He in Xinjiang); Shen & Sung 1964: 63 (Kala He); Shen & Sung 1965: 299 (Duoma’er He and nearby pools; pools nearby Rituzong; Nake Hu and its tributary); Chiang & Du 1979:196–197/130 (provinces of Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Tibet, Xinjiang); Jiang 1982: 179 (Lhasa, Linzhi, Milin, Cuona and Kangma in Tibet); Jiang 1983: 446–447 (Lhasa, Linzhi, Milin, Cuona, Kangma); Huang 1987: 31 (Dege, Nanping and Ruoergai in Sichuan); Shu et al. 2013: 206 (Potatso National Park in Shangri-La). Populations from China, especially from Tibet, need re-checking (Frey 1973).

Eurycercus (Eurycercus) macracanthus Frey, 1973. Records: Bekker et al. 2012: 10–16/3–4 (Nen River, Loakan zi, Jilin Province and Lake Malaga, Xiuganmeng); As E. macrocanthus by Chen et al. 1995a: 68–69/1–12 (a small pond at Fuyuan County in Heilongjiang). Common in the Amur basin (Bekker et al. 2012), and therefore perhaps in northern China. Initially placed in subgenus Eurycercus (Bullatifrons) (Frey 1975), but this taxon is a junior synonym of Eurycercus (Eurycercus) (see Bekker et al. 2012).
