Sinosolenaia recognita ( Heude, 1877) View in CoL gen. & comb. nov.

= Micetopus [sic!] recognitus Heude (1877) : pl. 22, fig. 47.

Type: Syntype MNHN MP 3423 ; labelled: “Ngan Noue, Chine”; deposited in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle , Paris, France .

Type locality: “La Hoai supérieure, département de Ing- tch'eou” [ Upper Huai River , Yangtze River basin, Anhui Province, China] ( Heude 1877) .

Reference DNA sequence data: Mitogenome: not available; COI barcode: KY561639 ( Bolotov et al. 2017: as Solenaia sp. ) and MG 463092 ( Huang et al. 2019: as Solenaia oleivora ).

Distribution: Red (Hồng Hà) River basin in northern Vietnam to the Yangtze River basin in eastern China.

Comments: Two distant lineages of this species are known to occur in East Asia (COI p -distance = 2.9%), i.e. those from Vietnam ( Bolotov et al. 2017) and eastern China ( Huang et al. 2019; Lopes-Lima et al. 2020). Based on conchological similarity of our sample from Vietnam with the nominal taxon recognitus Heude, 1877 , we tentatively assign the latter name to this species. It shares a slightly broader anterior margin compared with other species in the genus ( Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ).
