An integrative taxonomic analysis confirmed the new species status of a recently discovered upland population of Ansonia from Thongsong, Thongsong District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand from the sky island archipelago south of the Isthmus of Kra. Ansonia infernalis sp. nov. is a member of the Thai-Burmese clade within the more inclusive Thai-Malaya Peninsula clade of western and southern Thailand. It is separated from all other species of Ansonia by a unique combination of morphometric and discrete morphological and color pattern characteristics and is the sister species of a clade of eight other species found north of the Isthmus of Kra. Ansonia infernalis sp. nov. is the newest member of a long list of range-restricted endemics from the sky island archipelago of the Thai-Malay Peninsula and continues to underscore the unexplored nature of this region and its need for conservation.
一项综合分类分析证实了最近在泰国那空是贪玛叻府通颂区通颂山上发现的安索尼娅一个高地种群的新种地位，该种群位于克拉地峡南部的天空岛群岛。安索尼娅 infernalis 是泰国-缅甸支系的一员，属于更广泛的泰国-马来半岛支系，分布于泰国西部和南部。它与安索尼娅属的其他所有物种都有独特的形态特征和离散的形态和颜色模式特征组合，是克拉地峡北部一个包含 8 个其他物种的分支的姐妹种。安索尼娅 infernalis 是来自泰国-马来半岛天空岛群岛的众多分布范围受限的特有物种中的最新成员，这再次突显了该地区尚未开发的性质及其保护的必要性。
