The Amolops populations in the coastal hills in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, China, were controversially recorded as A. hongkongensis or A. daiyunensis before. In this study, based on the morphological examination and phylogenetic analysis of the specimens from these areas, a new species, Amolops teochew sp. nov., is described. Amolops teochew sp. nov. can be distinguished reliably from A. hongkongensis and A. daiyunensis by a combination of characteristics morphologically and distinct divergences genetically. The description of the new species highlights the Amolops diversity in the limited hilly region of southeastern China, which is remarkably higher than that in the more extensive inland region of southeastern China.
