Vernaya fulva (G. M. Allen, 1927) . 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 .
