    Abstract:

    In June 2022, a single specimen of amphibian was collected from Hualongshan Nature Reserve, Zhenping County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province (32°00′01″ N, 109°17′05″ E, altitude 1 641 m), and identified as a species of the genus Odorrana by comparison of morphological characters. In the phylogeny of 35 species of the genus Odorrana based on the mitochondrial 16SrRNA gene, it clustered with O. kuangwuensis, which was distributed in Nanjiang, Sichuan, the type locality, in the ML tree with 99% support, and should be intraspecific. Based on the morphological analysis and phylogenetic comparison, the collected specimen was identified as O. kuangwuensis, a genus of frogs in the Anura family (Ranidae), which represents a new record of amphibians in Shaanxi Province, and provides evidence for the continuity of the distribution of O. kuangwuensis in the Daba Mountain Range.
