Abstract
- Two new toad species of the genusLeptobrachellaare described from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of China, based on the combination of molecular and morphological data. The description ofLeptobrachella asperaWang, Lyu, Qi & Wang,sp. nov.from Huanglianshan Nature Reserve represents the thirteenthLeptobrachellaspecies known from Yunnan Province, and the description ofLeptobrachella dorsospinaWang, Lyu, Qi & Wang,sp. nov.from Yushe Forest Park represents the sixthLeptobrachellaspecies known from Guizhou Province. These new discoveries further emphasize the extremely high diversity of theLeptobrachellatoads in these regions.
