Includes rongjiangensis, which appears to be a valid species, as a nomen nudum. The description of rongjiangensis appeared in an online only publication, Cave Research, and the work was not registered in ZooBank. Therefore, the work does not meet the publication standard for the ICZN (see Article 8.5). The species epithet appears spelled "rongjiangensis" and "rongjingensis" throughout the paper by Chen et al. (2017). Here, we use "rongjiangensis" and treat "ronjingensis" as an incorrect original spelling that is therefore unavailable, since it is clear that the authors' intent was to name the species for the county or town in Guizhou province. "Rongjiiang" appears to be the most commonly used romanized version of the name. See also ICZN 19.3, 32.2.1, and 24.2.3.
