The species name is dedicated to Professor Datong Yang from Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences for his outstanding contribution to herptofauna research of Yunnan, China.	en	Yu, Guohua, Hui, Hong, Rao, Dingqi, Yang, Junxing (2018): A new species of Kurixalus from western Yunnan, China (Anura, Rhacophoridae).

6F9F0629458960A5D880CF6F496C6F84.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new tree frog species is assigned to the genus Kurixalus based on a combination of the following characters: tips of digits enlarged to discs, bearing circum-marginal grooves; small body size (SVL range of 31.6 - 34.7 mm in adult males; Table 1); finger webbing poorly developed and toe webbing moderately developed; serrated dermal fringes along outer edge of forearm and tarsus; an inverted triangular-shaped dark brown mark between eyes; dorsal brown ") (" saddle-shaped marking; and coarse dorsal and lateral surfaces with small, irregular tubercles (Nguyen et al. 2014 a, Nguyen et al. 2014 b, Yu et al. 2017 b). Our previous molecular study placed the new species in Kurixalus with other known congeners (Yu et al. 2017 a). Kurixalus yangi sp. n. can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: male body size larger than 30 mm; smaller ratio of head length to body size; curved canthus rostralis; weak nuptial pads; brown dorsal color; absence of large dark spots on upper-middle abdomen; presence of vomerine teeth; gold brown iris; single internal vocal sac; serrated dermal fringes along outer edge of limbs; granular throat and chest; interorbital space longer than upper eyelid; rudimentary web between fingers; and presence of supernumerary tubercles and thenar tubercle.	en	Yu, Guohua, Hui, Hong, Rao, Dingqi, Yang, Junxing (2018): A new species of Kurixalus from western Yunnan, China (Anura, Rhacophoridae).

A small rhacophorid; HL shorter than HW; snout pointed, no dermal prominence on tip, projecting beyond margin of lower jaw in ventral view; canthus rostralis blunt and curved; lore region oblique, slightly concave; nostril oval, slightly protuberant, closer to tip of snout than eye; IND slightly narrower than IOD; pineal spot absent; pupil oval, horizontal; tympanum distinct, rounded, slightly less than half ED; supratympanic fold distinct, curving from posterior edge of eye to insertion of arm; vomerine teeth in two oblique patches, touching inner front edges of oval choanae; tongue notched posteriorly; single internal vocal sac. Relative length of fingers is I <II <IV <III. Tips of all four fingers expanded into discs with circum-marginal and transverse ventral grooves; relative width of discs is I <II <IV <III; nuptial pad present on first finger; fingers weakly webbed at base; lateral fringes on free edges of all fingers; subarticular tubercles prominent and rounded, formula 1, 2, 2, 1; supranumerary tubercles present; two metacarpal tubercles present; series of white tubercles forming serrated fringe along outer edge of forearm. Heels overlapping when legs at right angle to body; relative length of toes is I <II <III <V <IV; tips of toes expanded into discs with circum-marginal and transverse ventral grooves; toe discs smaller than finger discs; relative size of discs is I <II <III <V <IV; webbing moderate on all toes, webbing formula is I 1.5 - 2 II 1 - 2 III 1 - 2 IV 2 - 1 V following Myers and Duellman (1982); subarticular tubercles prominent and rounded, formula 1, 1, 2, 3, 2; supernumerary tubercles present; inner metatarsal tubercle distinct, oval; outer metatarsal tubercle absent; series of tubercles forming serrated dermal fringe along outer edge of tarsus and fifth toe. Numerous small to large tubercles scattered on top of head, upper eyelids, dorsum, and flanks; patch of white tubercles below vent; white tubercles on tibiotarsal articulation; throat and chest finely granulated and abdomen coarsely granulated; dorsal surface of limbs smooth with tuberculs and ventral surface of thighs granulated.	en	Yu, Guohua, Hui, Hong, Rao, Dingqi, Yang, Junxing (2018): A new species of Kurixalus from western Yunnan, China (Anura, Rhacophoridae).

6F9F0629458960A5D880CF6F496C6F84.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history. The new species is known from border region with northern Myanmar in western Yunnan, China (Fig. 2) and northern Myanmar according to Yu et al. (2017 a). At the type locality, the new species was found calling on leaves of bushes adjacent to a road at night (Fig. 8). Specimens from the other two sites were found calling on broad leaves at the edge of an evergreen forest. Tadpoles, eggs and females were not found.	en	Yu, Guohua, Hui, Hong, Rao, Dingqi, Yang, Junxing (2018): A new species of Kurixalus from western Yunnan, China (Anura, Rhacophoridae).
