sp. nov. is characterised and distinct from the majority of its congeners (19) by having a combination of being: (1) a small-sized species with an average adult size below 30 mm (in males); and (2) having two dark symmetrical pectoral blotches.

and is morphologically distinguished from this species by the combination of features: (1) having a tibio-tarsal articulation that extends beyond the anterior corner of the eye (versus the centre of eye); (2) having a significantly shorter snout relative to SVL; (3) a significantly greater internasal distance relative to SVL; (4) a significantly smaller eye diameter relative to SVL; (5) a nearly significantly wider tympanum diameter relative to SVL; (6) having a significantly greater distance between the eyes and the nares; (7) and by having a significantly longer forelimb length.

As the holotype and paratypes of the new species are all male, sexual dimorphism cannot be ascertained. Aside from SVL, which is to be expected, the next characters which showed the greatest variation were FLL, TL, FL and TFL. Though the holotype has a head length longer than head width, most specimens had a head length shorter than head width. Colour varied between individuals, likely induced by temperature and/or time of day, as we observed this change first-hand. See Table

sp. nov. has been found calling as early as 26 April. Males would call from shrubs approximately 20 to 160 cm above temporary pools in and along roadside ditches. Temporary pools were 15 cm deep and up to 8 m long. In April, only sparse numbers of individuals were found calling. In July, full choruses could be heard, yet no individuals were found engaged in amplexus. No females have been found.

Surveys were made in the surrounding mountains for additional populations without success, including mountain ranges in Anhui and Jiangsu Provinces. The resort is situated at the southeast edge, in a northwest-to-southeast valley lower than 100 m in elevation. A creek comes from the hills, into a reservoir, which then flows about 2 km along the valley through the extent of the resort. The area was intended to be a plantation (unconfirmed, but suspected to be bamboo, based on the number of surrounding bamboo plantations), but in 2013, the land was set aside for the resort (pers. comm.). Now the resort consists of tea plantations, peach orchards, well-manicured grasses, a bamboo forest and miscellaneous shrubbery.</paragraph>
