Jennifer Macke could make this happen I think.

Hi Jiang,

Jiang,

You can quite legally post the English abstract to this thread - that is part of its purpose. So please do :).

(Holotype: No.0705015, adult male; Allotype: No.0705019, adult female; Paratypes: 10♂♂, 10♀♀) was discovered during a survey of herpetofauna in Shuichang village, Longli County, Guizhou Province between May 4 to May 12, 2007. This new species can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the back part of the upper branchial bone points upwards, an obvious bulge presents on both sides of the branchia vestiges on the head, high edges stick out on the back, there is no fringe on the side of the fingers and toes, but there is a black cuticle at the end, the fold of the tail fin behind the anus is reddish orange, which fades away, while that of the adult male is purplish red, and has no stripes.

Francesco - the new limit for PDFs is 3 megabytes. Thanks for posting that.
 
Hey, I have translated an article from Chinese to English before for this forum. Although not this particular article, I dont mind to try translating one more. Although, my translation skills and biological knowledge probably not suitable to generate a good translation. However, probably is better than nothing. And someone with better knowledge in biological terminology can edit it afterward. PM me if interested.
 
I have an English translation of this article already. It is waiting for me to proofread it. I'll get it done ASAP. If I don't post here in a couple of days, someone kick me.
 
At long last, I have a full English translation of the P. longliensis paper. It was difficult due to the anatomical descriptions. Thank you to Yong Zhao and Ian Choi, who both put a lot of effort into the translation.

If you want a copy, send me an e-mail. Use the link in my profile, or write to jpmacke at comcast.net. If you post on this thread asking for a copy, I may not see your message.

There are a couple of photos in the paper. I would say that this species is not one that has ever been imported in the pet trade. I have never before seen any photos of this species, to my memory.
