Melanabropsis nightfury is unique, currently the only known macropterous species of the genus. It differs from all other known species of Melanabropsis by the large scale of wings. Based on the observation photo records from Taiwan Island (Tab. 1), the unknown species found on Taiwan Island bears a closer resemblance M. nightfury compared to other species.</p><p>Etymology. This species is named after Night fury, a prominent character in the fantasy film series How to Train Your Dragon. The name is chosen to symbolize the male protagonist's efforts in altering humanity's perception of dragons, demonstrating that humans and nature can coexist in a state of harmony. Despite being small and insignificant compared to nature, humans are capable of showing respect and kindness towards nature, which will in turn reward us with benevolence.</p><p>Distribution.

The type locality of this species, Ishigaki Island, is the closest among known species to Taiwan Island, but morphologically it is more similar to species from Okinawa Island, which indicates that the dispersal pathway is not from Hainan Island or Taiwan Island to the Ryukyu Islands. Further investigations are needed to determine if there are any additional differences, such as habitat, between these species .</p><p>Distribution.

Melanabropsis distribution analysis</p><p>The model performance is very high, as the AUC value for 10 replicates equals 0.996 ± 0.003 (standard deviation). Mean diurnal range (bio_2) is the most important variables when predicting suitable habitats, with max temperature of warmest month (bio_5), annual precipitation (bio_12) and precipitation of warmest quarter (bio_18) ranking in top four (Tab. 2). The response curve of bio_2 shows that: the highest suitability is observed when the temperature difference is less than 5 ℃, gradually decreasing with increasing mean diurnal range, and becoming unsuitable when the temperature difference exceeds 8 ℃ (Fig. 9A). The response curve of bio_5 shows that the most suitable max temperature in summer is about 27 ℃ (Fig. 9B). The response curve of bio_12 and bio_18 shows that the more precipitation (especially in summer), the more suitable for the species (Fig. 9 CD). In conclusion, the species of Melanabropsis prefer humid areas with relatively low summer temperature and small diurnal temperature differences.</p><p>The table only shows the variables which permutation importance are more than zero.</p><p>Fig. 8B shows the potential distributed area of Melanabropsis, which aligns with the distribution information in Fig. 8A. Among the distribution of known species, the Ryukyu Islands demonstrate the highest suitability. North of both Zhejiang Province and Guangxi Province in China, which represent the current distribution area of M. tianmuica, also exhibit moderate suitability with scattered mountains.Among distribution of known species, Hainan Island exhibits the lowest suitability.</p><p>The analysis of the predicted distribution reveals that Taiwan Island, and other islands on the southeast of Taiwan Island such as Green Island and Orchid Island, all exhibit extremely high suitability. Dalou Mountains, Wuyi Mountains and Nanling Mountains in China, as well as east of Kon Tum in Vietnam exhibit moderate suitability. The observation records of Chinese insect lovers confirm the accuracy of the predicted distribution in this study: Fig. 10D observed from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in the Dalou Mountains; Fig. 10E observed from Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve in the Wuyi Mountains.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A836DF13FFC0FFFDFF71F8C1FCEBF86F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
