Comment
See accounts by Liu, 1950, Fieldiana, Zool. Mem., 2: 330-337, and Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 239 (including Amolops kangtingensis as a synonym). See accounts by Yang, 1991, Amph. Fauna of Yunnan: 180-182; Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China: 306; and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 238-239. Fei and Ye, 2001, Color Handbook Amph. Sichuan: 206-207, provided a brief account and illustration. See also brief account by Zhao and Yang, 1997, Amph. Rept. Hengduan Mountains Region: 113-114. Jin, Jiang, Xie, Zheng, and Xu, 2005, Zool. Res., Kunming, 26: 61-68, suggested on the basis of molecular evidence that Amolops mantzorum is a composite of at least two species. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1538-1545, provided an account, figures, and range map, and included the species in their Amolops mantzorum group. Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 99, provided a brief account (as Amolops tuberodepressus) for Yunnan, China. See (as Amolops tuberodepressus) map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 477. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 408-409, provided a brief account including photographs of specimens and habitat.
