Treatment

Vernaya fulva (G. M. Allen, 1927) View in CoL . Am. Mus. Novit., 270.

TYPE LOCALITY: China, Yunnan, Yinpankai, Mekong River .

DISTRIBUTION: S China (Sichuan and Yunnan) and N Burma; known only from above 7000 ft.

SYNONYMS: foramena.

COMMENTS: Originally described by Allen as a species of Chiropodomys , but later reidentified by him as the only example of Vandeleuria dumeticola known from Yunnan (Allen, 1940). Anthony (1941) correctly pointed out the morphological uniqueness of fulva by erecting a new genus to contain it. Still known only by very few specimens. Wang et al. (1980) described foramena as a species of Vernaya , but diagnostic traits simply represent individual variation found in V. fulva .
