Description of Leptobrachella yachangensis sp. nov. reveals genetic diversity in Anura, highlighting conservation needs.
In this study, we describe a new species of the species-rich genus Leptobrachella , Leptobrachella yachangensis sp. nov. , from northwestern Guangxi, China, based on a combination of molecular and morphological data. The new species is a sister taxon to L. wumingensis Chen, Peng, Li & Yu, 2023, with discrete, diagnostic differences from all other congeners. We also discussed the phenomenon and causes of the high diversity within this genus as well as the conservation of its congeners.
