Figure 4

(A) Fossil locality of Ptilocercus kylin sp. nov. (blue dot) and the distribution of the living species Ptilocercus lowii (pale reddish shading). The background map is from: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/WorldMap-A_non-Frame.png (under the Creative Commons Share Alike license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en). (B) Fossil locality (blue dot) and reconstructed palaeogeographic distribution of the closed canopy of tropical rain forest and monsoonal forest (pale reddish shading) in the early Oligocene. The palaeogeographic reconstruction is from ref. 46 (Nature Publishing Group License: 3646200322068). The position of the fossil locality on the palaeogeographic reconstruction was estimated based on its distance from the Tibetan Plateau and the Sino-Burman Ranges (SBR). The distribution of the tropical rain forest and monsoonal forest is from ref. 47.
