Abstract

Background: Amolopshimalayanus (Boulenger, 1888) is a poorly-known species which was originally described from north-eastern India over a hundred years ago. Currently, A.himalayanus is known only from India and Nepal and there is no reliable re-description or photos of this species reported.

New information: We record Amolopshimalayanus (Boulenger, 1888) from China for the first time, based on one specimen collected from Yadong County, Xizang Autonomous Region, China. Although the specimen from China is a juvenile, however, phylogenetically, it was clustered with the syntype of A.himalayanus and the specimens of this species from Nepal with strong support and the genetic distance between the specimen from China and the syntype of A.himalayanus was only 0.7% in 16S gene sequences. We provide a description of the juvenile specimen and, in addition, we provide reliable photos of this species in life for the first time.

Amolopshimalayanus (Boulenger, 1888)（无尾目，蛙科）的分布范围扩展，中国首次记录及该种幼鱼的首次描述。

背景：Amolopshimalayanus （Boulenger, 1888）是一种鲜为人知的物种，100多年前最初在印度东北部被描述。目前只在印度和尼泊尔发现喜马拉雅野生种，没有可靠的重新描述和照片报道。新资料：根据西藏亚东县的一份标本，首次在中国记录到amoloopshimalayanus （Boulenger, 1888）。尽管来自中国的标本为幼种，但在系统发育上，它与喜马拉雅喜喜树和尼泊尔喜喜树聚类，在16S基因序列上与喜马拉雅喜喜树的遗传距离仅为0.7%。我们提供了幼年标本的描述，此外，我们首次提供了该物种在生活中的可靠照片。

期刊介绍： Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers. The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
