Note.

Manglietia maguanica is listed as a synonym of M. insignis in Chen & Nooteboom (1993) and subsequently by the authors noted above. However, both are recognised as independent species in the majority of the more recent Chinese publications, including Liu et al. (2004: 164, 156), Xing et al. (2009: 198, 196), Sima and Lu (2009), Sima (2011: 98, 102), Deng and Yang (2015: 48, 54) and Yang et al. (2016: 192, 181).
