A new species of the species group is described based on four specimens collected from the karst formations of Menglian County, Puer City, Yunnan Province, China. The new species can be separated from all other congeners by having a unique combination of morphological characters: a medium-sized body; ventrolateral folds present with interspersed small tubercles; seven precloacal pores in a continuous series in males, absent in females; enlarged femoral scales and femoral pores absent; two postcloacal tubercles on each side; and one or two rows of enlarged subcaudals. Genetically, the new species most closely related to and the uncorrected sequence divergences of the ND2 gene and its flanking tRNAs between the new species and investigated congeners range from 7.2% to 18.4%.
基于从中国云南省普洱市孟连县喀斯特地貌采集的四个标本，描述了该物种组的一个新物种。该新物种可通过以下独特的形态特征组合与所有其他同属物种区分开来：体型中等；腹侧褶存在，散布着小瘤；雄性有连续排列的七个泄殖腔前孔，雌性无；股鳞不扩大且无股孔；每侧有两个泄殖腔后瘤；以及一排或两排扩大的尾下鳞。在基因上，该新物种与[具体物种]关系最为密切，新物种与所研究同属物种之间ND2基因及其侧翼tRNA的未校正序列差异在7.2%至18.4%之间。
