Habitat:
This species inhabits slow-flowing streams and the surrounding dense forest of relatively high mountainous regions. The breeding season begins in January, and peaks between mid-February and mid-March (Fei and Ye 2016). This species breeds in streams by larval development.
Range:
This species is restricted to Wulianshan and Ailaoshan in Jingdong County, in southwestern Yunnan Province, China. It occurs at elevations ranging between 2,300–2,450 m asl. The species is suspected to occur only on this mountain (D-Q. Rao pers. comm. June 2019). Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 16,899 km2.
Conservation:
