摘要
A new species of the genus Tylototriton is described from eastern Himalaya based on molecular and morphological comparisons. The new species is diagnosable from the closely-related species by having light brown colouration in dorsal region in life, flat and blunt snout, greatly separated dorsolateral bony ridges on head and straight-thick tailfin. In addition to head morphology, the new species is also morphologically distinguishable from its closely-related species Tylototriton shanorum by having 16 dorsal warts and average smaller Snout Vent Length (SVL).
