VL - 20 IS - 2 SE - Original Articles DO - UR - https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/tnh/article/view/240064 SP - 144-161 AB - <p>A new species of the genus <em>Tylototriton</em>, obtained from Doi Phu Kha National Park, Nan Province, northern Thailand, is described based on molecular and morphological evidence and named herein as <em>Tylototriton phukhaensis</em> sp. nov. The new species is morphologically distinct from the four known Thai <em>Tylototriton</em> species (<em>T. panhai</em>, <em>T. uyenoi</em>, <em>T. anguliceps</em> and <em>T. verrucosus</em>), in having a prominent, narrow, and straight sagittal ridge on the head that distinguishes it from the other Thai species. The molecular analysis also indicated that the new species is a distinct lineage and sister to <em>T. anguliceps</em> and <em>T. uyenoi</em>. The knowledge obtained in this study will greatly contribute to conducting the future conservation of Thai <em>Tylototriton</em>.</p> ER -
