[Taxacom] Chinese locality question

Subsequently did a combined search for Yao-Gi Muping Sichuan and came up
with an  Illinois Natural History Survey data base on Therividae where
there was a listing for one species from Yao-Gi, and then another for
Muping, Sichuan - both by the same collector and year so that gives me more
confidence that the Yao-Gi is indeed in Sichuan.

Thanks again,

John Grehan
