China/Tibet splits? (1 Viewer)

Hi there

bit of a long shot but...

anyone know of any recent splits in Chinese taxa that can be found around Beijing and others in Qinghai region (Tibet). Especially any in Pam Rasmussen's new book or any that are maybe little known now but could be potential splits soon

I could go thru my OBC Checklist but i'm lazy and it probably is a little out of date now (1996) and if anyone has any idea it'd save an awful lot of time...

thanx for any help
Tim
 
Awesome to see Mr Lydon on a Avatar!

I've got a feeling I might know you, you're only just up the road from me, are you in a band?

it has been known in the past... nothing to write home about though

i've managed to sort out a few from Pam's book but am still struggling with potential splits around Beijing or Xining (in the north-west)

anyone
Steve?

Sorry to wander off topic like this, what were your bands called? Iv'e been gigging in ipswich for about ten years
 
Hi Tim,
I downloaded the Excel on the OB site and had a very quick look at the time. I may have a better look tonight if I can get a few minutes. My first snap impression, without having the book and without knowing therefore any of the justifications of the splits - it seems like an awful lot of splits (PSC) that will have a hard time taking hold and for this reason the taxonomy itself could prove to be a deterrent for buying the book. Mind you, this is just a snap impression with the exception just noted.
