This study summarized the Scutiger species recorded in China and evaluated the resources and habitats of Scutiger species of China. Scutiger species mainly distributed in the alpine mountain and plateau area and laid there eggs in the sluggish streams. In recent years, totally 16 Scutiger species described in China and most of them live in the southwest of China. Among those amphibian species, 13 are endemic to China and accounted for 81.3%, one is critically endangered species, 4 are endangered species. The component of fauna consists 12 oriental species (accounted for 75%) that distribute in Hengduan Mountain and accounted for 62.5%, 3 species were widely distributed in both oriental region and Palaearctic region, only one species was Palaearctic amphibian species. The habitats quality of Scutiger species in China have gone off is the main reason for amphibian population declined sharply. Therefore, the corresponding scientific protection measures have also been summarized, in order to balance the resource utilization and protection.
