A new newt species, , is described based on nine specimens collected from Huanggangshan Mountains, Yanshan County, Jiangxi, China. Morphologically, the new species is characterized by the combination of nine external characters: (1) obvious black patches with clear boundaries on the whole body; (2) ground color of the dorsal body tan; (3) ground color of venter bright orange; (4) skin rough; (5) vertebral ridge weak; (6) fingers and toes overlapping when forelimb and hindlimb adpressed towards each other along body; (7) postocular orange spot absent; (8) small white warty glands around the eye; (9) two discontinuous longitudinal lines formed by white warty glands from neck to lateral parts of tail. Molecularly, the new species forms an independent clade with strong support in the phylogenetic trees of the genus based on the mitochondrial locus of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene fragments. The new species distinctly differs from by differences in its body measurements, vertebral ridge, dorsal black patches, and ventral black patches. Furthermore, the new species and are geographically isolated by a series of high mountain ranges, including the Wuyishan and Jiufengshan Mountains. The number of species is now 11.
基于从中国江西省铅山县黄冈山采集的9个标本，描述了一种新的蝾螈物种。在形态上，新物种具有九个外部特征的组合：（1）全身有明显的黑色斑块，边界清晰；（2）背部体色为棕褐色；（3）腹部底色为亮橙色；（4）皮肤粗糙；（5）脊椎嵴不明显；（6）当四肢沿身体相互靠拢时，手指和脚趾重叠；（7）眼后无橙色斑点；（8）眼睛周围有小的白色疣状腺体；（9）从颈部到尾部侧面由白色疣状腺体形成两条不连续的纵线。在分子层面，基于烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸脱氢酶亚基2（ND2）基因片段的线粒体基因座，新物种在该属的系统发育树中形成了一个得到有力支持的独立分支。新物种在身体测量、脊椎嵴、背部黑色斑块和腹部黑色斑块方面与[未提及的物种名]存在差异。此外，新物种与[未提及的物种名]在地理上被包括武夷山和九峰山在内的一系列山脉隔开。蝾螈物种的数量现在为11种。
