A new species, , is described, based on five specimens from Sangzhi County, Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province, China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on mitochondrial 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA gene sequences, strongly support the new species as a monophyletic group nested into the species complex. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: (1) body size medium (SVL: 42.1-45.1 mm in males, 83.3-92.7 mm in females); (2) dorsolateral folds absent; (3) tympanum diameter 1.53 times as long as the width of the disc of finger III in females; 2.3 times in males; (4) dorsal skin green with dense granules and sparse irregular brown spots; males with several large warts on dorsum; (5) two metacarpal tubercles; (6) relative finger lengths: I ≤ II < IV < III; (7) tibiotarsal articulation beyond the tip of the snout; (8) ventral surface smooth in females; throat and chest having pale spinules in adult males; (9) dorsal limbs green or yellow green with brown transverse bands; and (10) paired external vocal sacs located at corners of the throat, finger I with light yellow nuptial pad in males. This discovery increases the number of species to 59 and those known from China to 37.
基于采自中国湖南省张家界市桑植县的5个标本，描述了一个新物种 。基于线粒体12S rRNA和16S rRNA基因序列的分子系统发育分析有力地支持该新物种为嵌套于 物种复合体中的一个单系类群。该新物种可通过以下特征组合与同属其他物种相区分：（1）体型中等（雄性体长：42.1 - 45.1毫米，雌性体长：83.3 - 92.7毫米）；（2）无背外侧褶；（3）鼓膜直径在雌性中为第三指圆盘宽度的1.53倍；在雄性中为2.3倍；（4）背部皮肤绿色，有密集颗粒和稀疏不规则褐色斑点；雄性背部有几个大疣；（5）有两个掌突；（6）相对指长：I ≤ II < IV < III；（7）胫跗关节超过吻端；（8）雌性腹面光滑；成年雄性喉部和胸部有浅色小刺；（9）背肢绿色或黄绿色，有褐色横纹；（10）成对的外部声囊位于喉部两侧，雄性第一指有浅黄色婚垫。这一发现使 物种的数量增加到59种，其中已知分布于中国的有37种。
