    Abstract:

    Megophrys caudoprocta Shen,1994 has several unique characteristics. Its urostyle is longer beyond the back fringe of ischium to support its caudal projection. The cloacal pore between the two posterior margins opens to the ventral. The anterior part of the upper eyelids is larger than posterior part and has a triangolar projection pointed posterolaterally. All these unique characteristics are different from any other congeneric species. Recently, three specimens including one female and two male were collected in Type locality. Here reported are the morphology, biological information and its distribution based on the further investigation on the Topospecimens.
