Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences clustered the new species as an independent clade nested into L. oshanensis species group. The new species could be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of following characters: body size moderate (25.8&ndash;32.6 mm in male, 33.7&ndash;34.1 mm in female); distinct black spots present on flanks; toes rudimentary webbed, with narrow lateral fringes, dermal ridges under toes interrupted at articulations; ventral belly cream white with variable brown specking; skin on dorsum relatively smooth with fine tiny granules or short ridges; iris copper above, silver bellow; greyish black patches on posterior thigh absent or small; spines on surface of chest absent in male during breeding season; nasals entirely or partially separated from sphenethmoid in male; dorsal surface of tadpoles semitransparent light brown, spots on tail absent, keratodont row formula I: 3+3(2+2)/2+2: I; calls simple, call series basically consist of repeated long calls, at dominant frequency(4831.9 &plusmn; 155.8)Hz and call duration(544.5 &plusmn; 146.8)ms. In addition, we made supplementary description on L. oshanensis including holotype, variations, tadpoles, skull and bioacoustics. Besides, this paper reports cases&nbsp;of femoral adipose glands in the genus Leptobrachella as first known sexual dimorphism skin glands for males of Megophryidae.</p>

Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA sequences all strongly supported the new species as an independent lineage in Megophrys (Panophrys) clade. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following morphological characteristics: (1) small body size with SVL &lt; 38.8 mm in male and SVL &lt; 42.3 mm in female; (2) vomerine teeth absent; (3) tongue not notched behind; (4) a small horn-like tubercle at the edge of each upper eyelid; (5) tympanum distinctly visible, rounded; (6) two metacarpal tubercles in hand; (7) relative finger lengths: II &lt; I &lt; V &lt; III; (8) toes with rudimentary webbing at bases; (9) heels overlapping when thighs are positioned at right angles to the body; (10) tibiotarsal articulation reaching the level between tympanum to eye when leg stretched forward; (11) an internal single subgular vocal sac in male; (12) in breeding male, the nuptial pads with black nuptial spines on the dorsal bases of the first and second fingers.</p>
