| Odorrana liboensis is only known from its type locality, Maolan National Nature Reserve, Libo County, Guizhou Province, China. In August 2021, two specimens（1 male, 1 female）of the genus Odorrana were collected from Nongyao, Napo County, Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China (23°01′21″ N, 105°50′58″ E). The specimens were identified as O. liboensis, representing a newly recorded species of Amphibian in Guangxi. Morphologically the two specimens are basically consistent with type specimens of O. liboensis, with slight differences in body size and abdominal color. The phylogenetic tree constructed based on sequences of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene showed that the two specimens were clustered together with O. liboensis from the type locality with a support value of 100% and a genetic distance of 1.5%. This study shows that there are genetic and morphological differentiations between the two specimens and the type specimens of O. liboensis, which provides basic data for the research of frog biogeography. |
