3-year Biological Survey of Mount Wuyi National Park Finished, 17 New Insect Species Discovered
A three-year biological survey of Mount Wuyi National Park in eastern China has just been completed, revealing 17 new insect species in the area.
The park, known for its extensive forest ecosystem representative of the mid-subtropical zone, is called the "world of insects". According to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, 7,925 species of insects have now been recorded in the park, seven of which are classified as national key protected animals.
It is reported that, since the biological survey began in April 2021, researchers have so far documented 34 new species, including 17 previously unidentified insects. Among these discoveries are five new species of the genus Elaphropeza.
