03BB87A4347E4F4EFF20FA41FE64895B.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. R. yaoshanensis specimens were collected from four locations in the Dayaoshan Ranges. Except for the first location, all are close to permanent pools, ranging in area from 5 to 50 m 2. At the fourth location, we found about 40 individuals scattered on leaves of herbaceous plants (Fig. 3). Interestingly, we did not observe vocalizing males or amplexus. One adult female (NHMG 150401) was found, but contained no eggs. However, a female (NHMG 1402013) containing creamy yellow eggs was collected at the first location in February. The advertisement call and tadpole of R. yaoshanensis are unknown.	en	Chen, Weicai, Liao, Xiaowen, Zhou, Shichu, Mo, Yunming, Huang, Yong (2018): Rediscovery of Rhacophorus yaoshanensis and Theloderma kwangsiensis at their type localities after five decades.

Molecular analyses. Two individuals (NHMG 150404, 150408) were sequenced successfully. Based on our preliminarily phylogenetic analyses, R. yaoshanensis is the sister-species of R. pinglongensis with well-supported values (BBP = 1.0) (Fig. 4). The genetic distance between R. yaoshanensis and R. pinglongensis is at the 16 S gene fragment examined was 2.0 %.	en	Chen, Weicai, Liao, Xiaowen, Zhou, Shichu, Mo, Yunming, Huang, Yong (2018): Rediscovery of Rhacophorus yaoshanensis and Theloderma kwangsiensis at their type localities after five decades.

Molecular analyses. The genetic variation between the Dayaoshan Ranges individual and Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve individuals ranged from 0.0 – 0.6 % based on the 16 S and 12 S DNA fragments sequenced (~ 2000 bp). Theloderma kwangsiensis nested within T. corticale with high support, and the phylogenetic tree was consistent with Poyarkov et al. (2015), Huang et al. (2017), and Hou et al (2017). The genetic distance between T. kwangsiensis and T. corticale ranged from 0.0 – 0.6 %.	en	Chen, Weicai, Liao, Xiaowen, Zhou, Shichu, Mo, Yunming, Huang, Yong (2018): Rediscovery of Rhacophorus yaoshanensis and Theloderma kwangsiensis at their type localities after five decades.
