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.

<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="15">Currently, the species is only known from the type locality, on the outskirts of the Wizard of Oz resort in Chuanbu Village, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. 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>
