These articles describe four species of anurans — Megophrys pachyproctus Huang, Rana

 mangshanensis Fei and Ye — from southern and western China. 



Literal translations of text from Chinese to English often creates long, complex 

 sentences. We have endeavored to maintain as literal a translation as possible, but 

 without compromising English grammar. Consequently, some Chinese sentences have 

 become multiple English sentences.
