A New Species of the Genus <italic>Boulenophrys</italic> (Anura: Megophryidae: Megophryinae) from Zhuhai, Guangdong, China

<p indent="0mm">In this work, we described a new species of the Asian horned toad, <italic>Boulenophrys gaolanensis</italic> <bold>sp. nov.</bold>, based on the type series collected from Gaolan Island, Jinwan District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China. This new species is distinguished from all other congeners by a combination of morphological characters and the notable phylogenetic divergence. This discovery of new species in the understudied southwestern Pearl River Delta brings the total number of recognized <italic>Boulenophrys</italic> species to 68, with 63 found in China, and also highlights the need for further herpetological research and conservation on the understudied and ecologically vulnerable islands. <?Pub Caret 23?>
