Description of a new species of Leptobrachella in Guangdong, indicating implications for regional research and conservation efforts.
In this study, a new species, Leptobrachella kungfu sp. nov. , from Foshan City, central Guangdong Province, China, is described based on a combination of molecular and morphological data. Phylogenetically, the new species is closely related to L. yunkaiensis from western Guangdong Province and can be distinguished from all congeners by a combination of discrete morphological characters. A key to the species of this genus from Guangdong and a distribution map are provided to support further regional research and conservation.
