摘要：Herein we describe a new species,Leptobrachella yunyangensis sp.nov.,from Yunyang County,Chongqing City,China,based on a combination of molecular and morphological data.Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial 16 S rRNA gene and six nuclear genes indicated that this new species represented an independent evolutionary lineage.The uncorrected genetic distance between the new species and its closest congener species,L.oshanensis,was 5.4 % for 16 S rRNA.The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters:（1） moderate body size（SVL28.3-30.6 mm in males）;（2） rough dorsal skin,with sparse large granules and tubercles and short longitudinal ridges on the shoulder;（3） distinctly discernible tympanum with a diameter smaller than that of the eye（TMP/EYE ratio:0.51） and a distinct black supra tympanic line present;（4）an internasal distance almost equal to interorbital distance（IND/IOD ratio:1.05）;（5） flanks with several dark spots arranged longitudinally in two rows;（6） distinctly visible supra-axilla ry,femoral,pectoral,a nd ventrola teral glands;（7） bicolored iris,with the upper 1/3 of the iris being copper orange and the lower 2/3 a light silvery grey;（8） relative finger lengths of Ⅰ ＜Ⅱ=Ⅳ ＜Ⅲ and relative toe lengths of Ⅰ ＜Ⅱ ＜Ⅴ ＜Ⅲ ＜Ⅳ;（9） absence of webbing and lateral fringes on fingers,and toes with rudimentary webbing and narrow lateral fringes;（10） heels overlapping when the thighs are positioned at right angles to the body;（11） tibiotarsal articulation reaching to the anterior corner of the eye when the leg is stretched forward;（12） ventral surfaces of the throat,chest,and belly greyish white with purple-brown speckling;（13） lacking distinct blackish dorsolateral markings;and（14） transverse dark brown bars on the surfaces of limbs and digits.
