ovaran follicles, about 2 ram in diameter. The adult males of this sample series had testes of 

 about 3.5X6.3 mm. 



About one fifth of the specimens from Longling had ticks on the ventral surface of the 

 body and Hrabs, but the ticks were few on the dorsal surface. As to the specimens from 

 Changyuan, about one seventh bore ticks on the ventral surface of the body and Umbs, as 

 well as around the orbits. 



Distribution - This subspecies also occurs in Changyuan of the Yunnan Province. 



Hemiphyllodactylus yunnanensis jinpingensis Zhou et Liu, new subspecies 



(Plate 1:3) 



Holotype: Male (No. 78849) collected from around Jinping First Junior High School in 

 Jinping County, Yunnan Province (alt. 1260 m), in July 1978. Allotype: Female (No.78844), 

 sampUng locality and date same as holotype. Paratypes: 19 males and 21 females, sampling 

 locality same as holotype, collected in July 1978. 



Diagnosis - Numbers of scansor pairs on 

 dilated portions of digits II-V usually 3-4-4-4 in 

 hand, 4-5-5-5 in foot*^, fifth pairs on digits III- 

 V of foot not reaching outer margins of digits 

 (Fig. 5); diameter of ear opening 0.5-0.7 mm, 

 about 19-27% of eye diameter. The number of 

 subdigital scansors of this subspecies is greater 

 than those of H. y. longlingensis and the 

 nominotypical subspecies. From H. y. 

 dushanensis, H. y. jinpingensis differs in 

 having relatively small fifth scansor pairs on 

 digits III-V, which do not reach outer margins 

 of digits. 



Description - Snout about 1.7-2 times as 

 long as eye diameter, longer than distance 

 between eye and ear opening; head and body as 

 long as, or longer than tail, its length about 1- 

 1.39 times as great as length of tail; hindlimb 

 length 60-76% of axilla-groin distance. 

 Measurements are given in Table 3. 



Rostral wider than high, upper margin 

 notched medially; supralabials 8-10, infralabials 9-11; chin shields arranged in arc, medial 

 pair enlarged, usually followed by a row of slightly enlarged scales; male with 24-31 

 preanal-femoral pores. 



Color of preserved specimen brownish gray; one indistinct dark marking running from tip 

 of snout through eye and upper margin of ear opening to shoulder; dorsal surface of body 

 with some 10 transverse dark wavy bands; dorsal surface of base of tail with one U-shaped 

 white marking; dorsal surface of tail with about 10 transverse dark bands. 



Ecological data - More than half of the adult females collected at Jinping from the middle
