Type.

China. Guizhou Province: Duyun Municipality (26°22.383'N, 107°21.35'E), 1300 m alt., 22 Nov 2013, V.A. Bakalin China-56-77-13 (holotype: VBGI!; isotype: POZW!).

Remarks.

The species was described in Guizhou Province, China, and confirmed in northern Vietnam ( Buczkowska et al. 2018) but seems hardly restricted by known localities and is likely much more widely distributed. We ( Buczkowska et al. 2018) expected its occurrence in the Meta-Himalaya, as well as in Hengduan, which is the area of occurrence of several Sino-Himalayan species of the group to which the present taxon should belong. Some of the records of Calypogeia azurea probably belong to this taxon (see doubtful records). The description and illustrations of the taxon were published recently, and no additional information seems required here.
