Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 45 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
| Comment | Distribution: possibly in Yunnan (China) but records from there are questionable (Wang et al. 2022). |
