| Abstract: | "A new species, Cephonodes sanshaensis Deng & Huang, sp. nov. is described from Xisha islands near Sansha City, China. Photographs of the adults and their genitalia are provided. The new species is similar to C. hylas (Linnaeus, 1771) and C. picus (Cramer, 1777) but can be easily distinguished by characters in the male genitalia: the right lobe of the uncus is hook-shaped with distinctly acute apex, the left valva is long and narrow with a truncate apex, and the right valva is broad and knife-shaped. Molecular analysis based on cytochrome c oxidase I gene barcode sequences is used to infer the phylogenetic position of the new species within the genus Cephonodes. An updated key and checklist to the worldwide species of the genus Cephonodes are also provided." |

Taxonomic name:
STI taxonomic comments:
The year of publication of this paper is 2024 , not 2023 as variously quoted. The '2023' version (in both an online and PDF form) states '© 2023 National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA), Publishing Services by Elsevier'. In the PDF form, this statement is at the bottom of the abstract, with the following in the 'Article Info' - 'Available online 15 September 2023'. The online non-PDF form has the same 2023 copyright statement at the end of the paper. However, as in the PDF form, it also states - 'Received 27 April 2023, Revised 23 July 2023, Accepted 6 August 2023, Available online 15 September 2023, Version of Record 20 February 2024' (see under 'Show more' below the authors). In fact, as both forms have the same DOI they are one and the same publication. Both forms state quite clearly that the 'paper' was published in its final form on 1 March 2024 in the 'Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 17(1)', but also with the vague statement 'Available online 15 September 2023' and a further explicit but confusing statement that the date of the 'Version of Record' is '20 February 2024'. But following an extensive online search post-March 2024, no trace of the 2023 online version/form could be found, and thus it cannot currently stand as the version of record (which is explicitly defined on the publishers website as 'The date the finalized version of the article was made available in the journal'). Furthermore, it is unknown whether this 2023 version differs from that which was finally published in 2024. Thus, unless an actual 2023 version is eventually found online, the publication date of the paper (and thus also of Cephonodes sanshaensis) must be taken as 1 March 2024.
