Hidden Biodiversity in the Tropical Rain Forests:Two New Species of Leptobrachella Smith 1925(Anura:Megophryidae)from Vietnam
摘要Two new species of Leptobrachella are described from Vietnam based on morphological differences and genetic divergences in 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene sequences.The new taxa are distinguished from each other and from other species of the genus Leptobrachella in body size,head width/length ratio,tympanum morphology,dorsal skin texture,the presence/absence of fringes on toes,color of dorsal and ventral body,and iris color.The two new species are also divergent from each other and from other congeners by a 4.14%or greater uncorrected genetic distance.Leptobrachella batxatensis sp.nov.is genetically closest to L.shiwandashanensis and L.wuhuangmontis from China.Leptobrachella duyenae sp.nov.is genetically closest to L.bidoupensis from Vietnam with strong nodal support from both BI and ML analyses(1.0/99%).
