F6ACF6E81322538998DE21A4293DF9F5.taxon	description	Description of holotype. Adult male (Figs 4, 5) of moderate body size, SVL 31.4 mm. The head width was larger than the head length (HDW: HDL = 1.08); the triangular snout showed a pointed appearance in the dorsal view, rounded in the profile, and projecting beyond the margin of the lower jaw; the canthus rostralis was distinct and rounded; the loreal region was oblique and concave; nostrils were oval and significantly protuberant and were closer to the tip of the snout than to the eye; the eyes were large with horizontal pupils; the eye diameter was 0.68 times that of snout length; the distinct tympanum was 0.69 times the eye diameter; the supratympanic fold was distinct, extending from the posterior corner of eye to above the insertion of the arm; no vomerine teeth were observed; the tongue was deeply notched behind. The forelimbs were robust (LW / SVL = 0.08); the lower arm and hand beyond one-second of body length (LAL / SVL = 0.51); fingers were dorsoventrally compressed, with webbing rudimentary but with narrow lateral fringes on the outer edge of all fingers, relative finger lengths were ordered as I <II <IV <III; the tips of all fingers showed well-developed disks with horizontal circummarginal grooves; markedly elevated, prominent, and rounded subarticular tubercles were found on the fingers (one on fingers I and II, and two on fingers III and IV); supernumerary tubercles were present; the prepollex was distinct, oval; a nuptial pad was observed on the dorsolateral surface of the first finger. Hindlimbs were 1.5 times the SVL; the tibiotarsal articulation reached the mid-eye level when legs were stretched forward; the tibias were longer than the thigh length; heels overlapped when thighs were positioned at right angles to the body; toes were slender, relative lengths I <II <III <V <IV; tips of toes showed expanded discs with distinct transverse circummarginal grooves. Distinct, rounded subarticular tubercles were seen on the fingers (one on fingers I and II, two on fingers III and V, three on finger IV); webbing formula I (2), (2 ½) II (1 ⅔), (3) III (2), (3) IV (3), (2) V; the sole was smooth with small tubercles; the inner metatarsal tubercle was elongated, ellipsoid; the outer metatarsal tubercle and the inner tarsal fold were absent. The skin on the dorsal surface of the head, dorsum, and dorsal surfaces of the limbs was rough and sparsely scattered with conical tubercles; the ventral surface of the bell and limbs was rough with small tubercles.	en	Liu, Jing, Peng, Cai-Chun, Wang, Bin, Feng, Chao-Bo, Shen, Tuo, Li, Shi-Ze, Chen, Ji-Jun, Su, Hai-Jun, Tang, Xiu-Jun (2025): A new species of Gracixalus (Amphibia, Anura, Rhacophoridae) from Guizhou Province, China.

F6ACF6E81322538998DE21A4293DF9F5.taxon	description	Secondary sexual characters. Adult females were found to be larger than adult males. The adult males showed a single subgular vocal sac. In breeding, the nuptial pad was present on the dorsal surface of the bases of the first finger.	en	Liu, Jing, Peng, Cai-Chun, Wang, Bin, Feng, Chao-Bo, Shen, Tuo, Li, Shi-Ze, Chen, Ji-Jun, Su, Hai-Jun, Tang, Xiu-Jun (2025): A new species of Gracixalus (Amphibia, Anura, Rhacophoridae) from Guizhou Province, China.

F6ACF6E81322538998DE21A4293DF9F5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Gracixalus weii sp. nov. was assigned to the genus Gracixalus based on molecular data and morphological characteristics. Morphologically, the new species presented an intercalary cartilage between the terminal and penultimate phalanges of digits. The tips of the digits expanded into large disks with circummarginal grooves, the vomerine teeth were absent, and the pupil was horizontal (Delorme et al. 2005). Gracixalus weii sp. nov. can be distinguished from other congeners by the following characteristics: (1) moderate body size (SVL 30.1 – 34.0 mm in males and 35.2 – 36.0 mm in females); (2) head width larger than head length; (3) distinct tympanum; (4) brown to beige dorsum, with an inversed Y-shaped dark brown marking; (5) rough skin of the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the head, body, and limbs, sparsely scattered with tubercles; (6) toes with moderately developed webbing, while finger webbing was rudimentary; (7) nuptial pads on base of finger I; (8) males had a single subgular vocal sac; (9) tibiotarsal articulation reaching the mid-eye when leg stretched forward; (10) heels overlapping when legs at right angle to body.	en	Liu, Jing, Peng, Cai-Chun, Wang, Bin, Feng, Chao-Bo, Shen, Tuo, Li, Shi-Ze, Chen, Ji-Jun, Su, Hai-Jun, Tang, Xiu-Jun (2025): A new species of Gracixalus (Amphibia, Anura, Rhacophoridae) from Guizhou Province, China.

F6ACF6E81322538998DE21A4293DF9F5.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitats. At present, Gracixalus weii sp. nov. is only found in Leigongshan Nature Reserve, Leishan County, Guizhou Province, China. The population inhabits the mountain forests at elevations between 1600 and 1800 m and is often found on bamboo near streams (Fig. 7). Boulenophrys leishanensis Li, Xu, Liu, Jiang, Wei & Wang, 2018; B. spinata Liu & Hu, 1973; Leptobrachella wulingensis Qian, Xia, Cao, Xiao & Yang, 2020; and Leptobrachium leishanensis Liu & Hu, 1973 were also found in the type locality of the new species. After investigation, we only heard the calls of Gracixalus in mid to late May, and no calls were heard in other seasons, so we speculate that the breeding season may be in mid to late May.	en	Liu, Jing, Peng, Cai-Chun, Wang, Bin, Feng, Chao-Bo, Shen, Tuo, Li, Shi-Ze, Chen, Ji-Jun, Su, Hai-Jun, Tang, Xiu-Jun (2025): A new species of Gracixalus (Amphibia, Anura, Rhacophoridae) from Guizhou Province, China.
