Habitat:
This species inhabits mixed forests, and breeds in small streams, where the larvae also develop. During the non-reproductive period, the toads disperse in the forest and hide under the stream stones during the day (Fei et al. 2012). Adult toads breed in streams, and females spawn 160-197 eggs (Fei et al. 2012). Eggs adhere to the bottom of stones, and tadpoles are found in small numbers in rocky crevices in the gentle flow of medium-sized streams (Fei et al. 2012).

Range:
This species is known from a single small stream in Puxiong in Yuexi County, in southern Sichuan province, China, between 2,850–3,000 m asl. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 10 km2, and its area of occupancy (AOO) is 4 km2.

Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
This species is found just at the edge of Shenguozhuang National Nature Reserve.

Conservation Needed
Making protection of the remaining habitat in the area a priority to ensure the species' survival is needed.

Research Needed
Research is needed on its habitat, distribution, population and threats (B. Wang pers. comm. June 2019). A management program for this species should also be developed and population monitoring is required (B. Wang pers. comm. June 2019).
