Abstract

ABSTRACT Nothophryne Poynton, 1963 is a monotypic genus of frog, with the nominal species N. broadleyi found only on Mount Mulanje, in southern Malawi. Recent surveys in northern Mozambique, however, have uncovered at least four new species associated with four inselbergs (Mount Inago, Mount Namuli, Mount Ribáuè and Taratibu Hills). Previous phylogenetic analyses using mitochondrial genes suggest that each mountain isolate has an endemic species of Nothophryne. Herein we provide a rediagnosis of the genus and comparative diagnoses of four new species based on new material. ZooBank— urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:19C53BF3-BA52-4CAE-933F-5BBEE0AF0457

文章题目莫桑比克北部野山蛙的杂种蛙新种(平头蛙科:野蛙科)

摘要：花蛙属（Nothophryne Poynton，1963）是蛙的一个单型属，其命名种N.brodleyi仅在马拉维南部的穆兰杰山上发现。然而，最近在莫桑比克北部进行的调查发现，至少有四个新物种与四种昆虫有关（伊纳戈山、纳穆利山、里巴埃山和塔拉提布山）。先前使用线粒体基因进行的系统发育分析表明，每一个山地分离株都有一个特有种。在此，我们根据新材料对该属进行了重新诊断，并对四个新种进行了比较诊断。ZooBank——urn:lsid:ZooBank.org：pub:19C53BF3-BA52-4CAE-933F-5BE0AF0457
