Comments. Syndicus jaloszynskii can be readily separated from all other congeners by its exceptionally large body size (over 4 mm). This species was originally described from Zhejiang ( Fengyangshan ) , and Fujian ( Wuyishan) ( Yin et al. 2014) . Additional collecting records from Hunan ( Nanfengmian ) were later published ( Yin and Li 2015). The present material broadens the known range of this species to the Baishanzu Nature Reserve in Zhejiang , southwards to the Nanling Nature Reserve in Guangdong , and the Mangshan Nature Reserve in Hunan .
