The Zhuang language, one of the official languages of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is based on the dialect of Wuming, from where the new species was collected.	en	Lyu, Zhi-Tong, Huang *, Zhong, Liao, Xiao-Wen, Lin, Li, Huang, Yong, Wang, Ying-Yong, Mo, Yun-Ming (2021): A new species of Music frog (Anura, Ranidae, Nidirana) from Mt Daming, Guangxi, China.

83B21CE3A04A5DD19B9D35B3094AA85E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Nidirana guangxiensis sp. nov. is placed in the genus Nidirana based on the morphological characteristics of the absence of the thumb-like structure on finger I, presence of well-developed dorsolateral folds, and the presence of suprabrachial glands in breeding males (Lyu et al. 2017). It is further assigned to the N. adenopleura group by the presence of lateroventral grooves on all toes (Dubois 1992; Lyu et al. 2019). Nidirana guangxiensis sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of the morphological characteristics: (1) body medium sized, with SVL 40.2 - 47.6 mm (43.8 + / - 2.2, N = 17) in adult males and 49.9 - 51.0 mm (N = 2) in adult females; (2) disks of digits dilated, pointed; (3) lateroventral grooves present on fingers III and IV, and each toe; (4) relative finger length II <I <IV <III; (5) lateral fringes wide on inner sides of fingers II, III and IV but absent on finger I; (6) webbing formula on toes I 2 - 2 ⅔ II 2 - 3 III 21 / 2 - 3 ⅔ IV 3 ⅔ - 21 / 2 V; (7) tibio-tarsal articulation reaching at the nostril; (8) dorsal skin rough with dense granules, several tubercles on the posterior part, flanks, and dorsal hindlimbs, without spinules on the skin; (9) distinct supernumerary tubercles below the base of fingers III and IV, palmar tubercles prominent and distinct; (10) a pair of subgular vocal sacs present; (11) a single nuptial pad on the first finger, nuptial spinules invisible; (12) suprabrachial gland large; (13) nest construction behavior present; (14) calling consisting of 6 - 11 rapidly repeated regular notes.	en	Lyu, Zhi-Tong, Huang *, Zhong, Liao, Xiao-Wen, Lin, Li, Huang, Yong, Wang, Ying-Yong, Mo, Yun-Ming (2021): A new species of Music frog (Anura, Ranidae, Nidirana) from Mt Daming, Guangxi, China.
