Discussion: Reviewed by Corbet and Hill (1992); G. M. Allen (1940) and Ellerman (1961) offered excellent portrayals concerning morphology, distribution, taxonomy, and ecology. Dao and Cao (1990) described reductus as a subspecies of R. sinensis from N Vietnam. Corbet and Hill (1992) listed troglodytes , which is based on Chinese fossils, in the synonymy of R. sinensis following Cao (1985), but Zheng (1993) documented fossils identified as R. sinensis and R. troglodytes from Pleistocene cave sediments in the Sichuan-Guizhou region. Wang (2003) recognized R. wardi as a species, with neowardi as subspecies.
