We describe a new species of salamander in the genus Batrachuperus from Tsinling Mts. in western China. The new species is morphologically most similar to B. longdongensis. but differentiated by the absence of horny covers on palms and tarsa. It represents the most northeastern distribution and the lowest elevation of the genus.
