Habitat:
This species inhabits subtropical forests, and breeds by larval development in mountain streams and ponds (B. Wang pers. comm. June 2019). The adults are terrestrial, and enter the streams during the months of May to mid-July to mate and breed (Fei and Ye 2016).
Range:
This species ranges from the southern corner of Gansu Province to central Sichuan Province in China (Fei and Ye 2016). It occurs at elevations ranging between 1,200–2,400 m asl (B.Wang pers. comm. June 2019).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
The range of this species overlaps with several protected areas, including Emeishan, Wawushan, Gonggashan, Wolong and Dujiangyan. This species is on the "List of Beneficial or of Important Economic or Scientific Value Terrestrial Wild Animals under States Protection", under the protection of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Wildlife", which provides a moderate degree of protection and makes it illegal to collect (China Red List Assessment Workshop June 2019).
Conservation Needed
Continued and strengthened management of protected areas where this species occurs, and expanded protection of forest elsewhere in its range is needed. It is also recommended that public awareness and outreach programs be established for this species, and that planning and management of tourism development projects be improved (B. Wang pers. comm. June 2019).
Research Needed
More information is needed on this species' distribution, population status, ecology, and threats. There is a need for monitoring the population status of this species given the threats of ongoing road construction and development projects.
