Abstract

The species name Cangshanaltica fuanensis, previously published in Ruan et al. (2020), is invalid. In this paper, we described Cangshanaltica fuanensis sp. nov. from Fujian, China in order to fully meet the criteria for the publication of a new species according to the Amendment of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (2012).
