A new Asian leaf litter toad of the genus (Amphibia, Anura, Megophryidae) from central south China.

A new species of the Asian leaf litter toad genus from central south China is described. Molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA and nuclear RAG1 gene sequences indicated the new species as an independent clade in the genus. The new species could be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: body of medium size (SVL 29.

A new toad species of the genus Tian & Hu, 1983 (Anura, Megophryidae) from Guizhou Province, China.

Background: The toads of the genus Tian & Hu, 1983 are distributed in southern China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and northern Thailand. Seven species of the genus have been recognised, of which five of them are known from China so far.

New Information: sp.

A new species of the genus Smith, 1925 (Anura, Megophryidae) from Guizhou, China.

Asian leaf-litter toads of the genus represent charismatic anuran diversification with 80 species, of which 25 are from China. Recent new discoveries suggest that the diversity of this genus is underestimated. Here, we describe a new species of , from the Basha Nature Reserve, Congjiang County, Guizhou Province, China.

A new species of the horned toad Kuhl & Van Hasselt, 1822 (Anura, Megophryidae) from southwest China.

A new species of the genus is described from Guizhou Province, China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA sequences all strongly supported the new species as an independent clade sister to and . The new species could be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: body size moderate (SVL 43.

A new species of the Asian leaf litter toad genus (Amphibia, Anura, Megophryidae) from southwest China.

A new species of the Asian leaf litter toad genus from Guizhou Province, China is described based on molecular phylogenetic analyses, morphological comparisons, and bioacoustics data. Phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences supported the new species as an independent clade nested into the clade and sister to . The new species could be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: small body size (SVL 30.

A new species of the Music frog (Anura, Ranidae) from Guizhou Province, China.

The Music frog genus is widely distributed in East and South Asia. Here, a new species of the genus is described from southwestern China. Phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI gene sequences supported the new species as a clade closely related to , , , , and .
