In this study, a new species of the genus Boulenophrys is described from northwestern Guangdong, within the Nanling Moutains. The new species can be distinguished from all known congeners by a combination of morphological characteristics and the mitochondrial genetic divergence. The new species is found to breed in winter season which was not common in most amphibian groups but also present in some Boulenophrys congeners. We further discuss the inadequate surveys for these species due to the oversight of such multi-seasonal breeding pattern.
在本研究中，南岭山脉内的粤西北地区描述了臭蛙属的一个新物种。该新物种可通过形态特征和线粒体遗传差异与所有已知同属物种相区分。该新物种被发现于冬季繁殖，这在大多数两栖类群中并不常见，但在一些臭蛙同属物种中也有出现。我们进一步讨论了由于对这种多季节繁殖模式的忽视而导致对这些物种调查不足的情况。
