The toads of the genus Tian & Hu, 1983 are distributed in southern China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and northern Thailand. Seven species of the genus have been recognised, of which five of them are known from China so far.
sp. nov., a new species of the short-legged toad genus is here described from southern Guizhou Province, China. Diagnostic characters of the new species are illustrated and comparisons with its congeners are provided. Its validity is also affirmed by its distinct mitochondrial gene sequence divergence with all congeners and its monophyly recovered in the mitochondrial gene-based phylogenetic analyses.
田氏蟾属(Tian & Hu,1983)的蟾蜍分布于中国南部、缅甸、越南、老挝和泰国北部。该属已确认有7个物种,其中5种迄今在中国有记录。
本文描述了一种来自中国贵州省南部的短腿蟾蜍属新物种。文中对新物种的鉴别特征进行了说明,并与同属其他物种进行了比较。通过与所有同属物种明显不同的线粒体基因序列差异以及基于线粒体基因的系统发育分析所显示的单系性,也证实了该新物种的有效性。
