Li chun horned toad (Boulenophrys lichun) makes mating calls in spring from rock crevices in Ningde City

NEWS - Researchers report Li chun horned toad ( Boulenophrys lichun sp. nov.) from the coastal hills of eastern Fujian Province, China, that differs from all known relatives by a combination of morphological character differences and genetic divergence in the mitochondrial 16S + CO1 gene pool. During a field survey in eastern Fujian, researchers collected a series of Boulenophrys specimens Fei, Ye & Jiang, 2016. Initial morphological examination indicated that the specimens differed from their known relatives by a series of distinct characters. Subsequent molecular analysis further revealed that these specimens represent a separate evolutionary lineage, showing significant differences from their known relatives. Therefore, the researchers describe it as a new species. B. lichun is small in size (SVL 33.5–37.0 mm in 5 adult males, SVL 47.1 mm in 1 adult female); rostra canthus well developed, tongue not notched posteriorly; tympanum distinct; vomerine ridge and vomerine teeth pres...
