Abstract
Based on the examination of specimens of Amolopsminutus Orlov & Ho, 2007 and A.ottorum Pham, Sung, Pham, Le, Zieger & Nguyen, 2019, we found that there is no significant morphological difference between them. Phylogenetic analysis also showed that A.minutus and A.ottorum belong to the same taxon. In addition, we discovered the distribution of A.minutus in China. In this study, we provide the first molecular data of Amolopsminutus and regard A.ottorum as a junior synonym of A.minutus. In addition, we report the first record of A.minutus from China, based on nine specimens collected from Guanyinshan Provincial Nature Reserve in southern Yunnan Province and present an updated diagnosis of this species, based on literature data and newly-collected specimens.
