摘要: 为及时掌握中国脊椎动物在2024年的新发现情况, 本文汇总了2024年文献报道的脊椎动物新物种、新记录种、恢复有效的物种、亚种提升为种的基本信息。结果表明, 2024年中国脊椎动物新分类单元133种, 隶属于16目48科87属。其中有97新种, 1新亚种、24新记录种, 7亚种提升为种级, 4种的有效性种得以恢复; 其中鱼类4目14科24属40种; 两栖类3目7科16属30种(25新种、5新记录种); 爬行类2目13科29属43种(28新种、1新亚种、10新记录种、恢复4种); 鸟类3目8科9属10种(6亚种提升为种级、4新记录种); 哺乳类4目6科9属10种(4新种、5新记录种、1亚种提升为种级)。在新分类单元中, 变温脊椎动物有112种, 占总数的85%; 鱼类新物种多为鲤形目(28/40)、两栖类多为无尾目(26/30)、爬行类多为有鳞目(39/43)、鸟类多为雀形目(8/10), 而哺乳类多为劳亚食虫目(5/10)。本次新分类单元分布记录涉及中国的全部34个省域, 有114种仅记录于1个省域; 云南有46种、广西25种、西藏18种、广东18种、福建13种、台湾有12种, 贵州有11种, 其余省区在9种或以下。有111种发表时应用了分子系统学研究结果。有126种发表于28份学术期刊上, 其中15种发表于中国学术机构主办的4份英文期刊、9种发表于3份中文期刊。本文工作可为脊椎动物的分类和保护等相关工作提供基础信息。此外, 本文工作也提示变温脊椎动物可能是中国以后脊椎动物物种多样性调查研究的热点类群, 整合分类方法是未来分类工作的重要支撑。

Abstract

Aim: To collate and report on new vertebrate taxa in China published in 2024. 

Method: This paper summarizes the basic information about new vertebrate taxa in China from the academic literature published in 2024. 

Results: In 2024, 133 new vertebrate taxa species were recognized in China, including 97 species new to science, 24 species not previously reported in China, and 7 subspecies elevated to species rank, in addition, one new subspecies was described, and 4 species were reinstated as valid. These taxa belong to 16 orders, 48 families, and 87 genera. Among them, there are 40 new species of fish; 30 species of amphibian, including 25 new species and 5 newly recorded in China; 43 species of reptile, including 28 new species and 10 newly recorded in China, in addition, plus 1 new subspecies and 4 reinstated valid species; 10 species of bird, including 6 subspecies elevated to species rank and 4 newly recorded in China; 10 species of mammal, including 4 new species, 5 newly recorded in China, and 1 subspecies elevated to species rank. Ectothermic vertebrates account 85% of new discoveries; most representative orders were Cypriniformes (28/40) for fish, Anura (26/30) for amphibians, Squamata (39/43) for reptiles, Passeriformes (8/10) for birds, and Eulipotyphla (5/10) for mammals. These 133 new vertebrates were recorded across 34 provincial-level regions. Most species (114) were found in only one region, while Yunnan, Guangxi, Xizang, Guangdong, and Fujian were the top five regions, with 46, 25, 18, 18, and 13 species recorded, respectively. A total of 110 of these discovered species have been supported by molecular systematics. Most findings (126 taxa) were published in 28 academic journals, with 15 of which were published in four English journals and 9 of which were published in two Chinese journals in China. 

Conclusion: This article provides essential baseline data for the classification and conservation of vertebrates in China. In addition, it highlights that ectothermic vertebrates are a major focus of current diversity research, and underscores the importance of an integrated taxonomic approach for future studies.
