Type materials.

Holotype. GEP a 055 , adult male, from Longlinchang Village (24°04'47"N, 112°40'37"E; 280 m a. s. l.), Jintan Town, Qingxin District, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, China GoogleMaps . Paratypes. (n = 5): GEP a 052 , GEP a 053 , GEP a 054 , adult males and GEP a 050 , GEP a 051 , adult females, from the same locality as the holotype GoogleMaps .

Additional specimens.

SYS a 009107 , adult male and SYS a 009108 , adult female, both from Longlinchang Village , Jintan Town, Qingxin District, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, China .

Variation.

Our morphological analyses of additional specimens of this species provided new morphometric data (Table 2 View Table 2 ) and suggested the overall morphology of these specimens is generally consistent with the previous description ( Lin et al. 2022). However, a few morphological revisions were also suggested. Our morphological examination revealed pineal ocellus invisible in SYS a 009107 , tibiotarsal articulation reaching the region between eye and nostril when hind-limb stretched along the side of body in SYS a 009108 and fingers II – IV and toes I – V with lateroventral grooves and finger I without groove in both additional specimens, which differ from previous descriptions of pineal ocellus visible, tibiotarsal articulation reaching nostril and all fingers and toes with circum-marginal grooves ( Lin et al. 2022), respectively.

Revised diagnosis.

This species can be diagnosed from other species of Odorrana lipuensis group by the combination of following morphological characteristics: (1) body size small, SVL 33.9–36.8 mm in adult males (n = 5) and 41.3–46.0 mm in adult females (n = 3); (2) relative finger length I ≥ II; (3) dorsolateral folds absent in both sexes; (4) bands on the dorsal surface of hind-limb clear; and (5) nuptial pads present on fingers I, II and III, the nuptial pad on finger II from the subarticular tubercle to fingertip not connecting with the nuptial pad on finger I.

Distribution.

This species is currently found only in its type locality, Longlinchang Village, Qingyuan City, Guangdong, China (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ).
