A new species of Nanorana Günther, 1896 (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from western Yunnan, China

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liu, Shuo, Wang, JiShan, Hou, Mian, Rao, Dingqi (2025): A new species of Nanorana Günther, 1896 (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from western Yunnan, China. Species (e 45 s 3205) 26 (78): 1-15, DOI: 10.54905/disssi.v26i78.e45s3205, URL: doi.org/10.54905/disssi.v26i78.e45s3205 ABSTRACT A new species of Nanorana is described based on five specimens collected from Yongde County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, China.

Phylogenetically, the new species formed a distinct clade closely related to N. maculosa and N. chayuensis. Morphologically, the new species is most similar to N. maculosa, however, it can be distinguished from the latter by having relatively larger eyes, relatively smaller interorbital distance, relatively smoother and tighter skin, and incurved webbing between toes. This study brings the total number of recognized species of the genus Nanorana to 34, of which 25 occur in China.
