2. Lepisorus simulans Ching & Z.Y. Liu View in CoL , sp. nov.

Type:— CHINA. Chongqin, Nanchuan, Jinfoshan, on tree trunks, 1650 m, 12 May 1983, Z. Y. Liu 4096 (holotype PE-00044874!) Paratype:— CHINA. Chongqin, Nanchuan, Jinfoshan, Z. Y. Liu 4038 ( PE, not seen).

Two gatherings, Z. Y. Liu 4096 and Z. Y. Liu 4038, were designated as “type” in Latin and Chinese, respectively, in the protologue ( Ching & Liu 1984). Here we designate the former as the holotype. The validating description and diagnosis were previously published by Ching & Liu (1984: 23–24). Qi et al. (2013) treated it as a heterotypic synonym of Lepisorus thunbergianus (Kaulfuss) Ching.
