Based on the integrated morphological and molecular evidence, Amana yunjuensis, originally described from Mt. Yunju in Jiangxi province, is demonstrated not essentially different from A. anhuiensis. Indistinguishable diagnostic characters, nested phylogenomic relationships, and no genetic distinctiveness of population genomic structure all indicate that A. yunjuensis does not represent an independent evolutionary lineage. Accordingly, A. yunjuensis should be treated as a taxonomic synonymy of A. anhuiensis.
