Comment
See redescription by Tian and Wu in Hu, Tian, and Wu, 1981, Acta Herpetol. Sinica, 5 (17): 111–120. Zhao and Adler, 1993, Herpetol. China: 115, discussed authorship. See brief account, map, and figure by Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 58–59. Zhang and Wen, 2000, Amph. Guangxi: 38, provided an account for Guangxi. Considered an allopatric population of Bombina maxima by Yu, Yang, Zhang, and Rao, 2007, J. Herpetol., 41: 365–377. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitats, and conservation status by Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 155. Zheng, Fu, and Li, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 52: 70–83, recognized Bombina microdeladigitora, Bombina lichuanensis, and Bombina fortinuptialis as separate species and provided molecular evidence consistent with this view. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 106–108, provided a brief account. Pabijan, Wandycz, Hofman, Węcek, Piwczyński, and Szymura, 2013, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 69: 63–74, questioned the distinctivness of Bombina microdeladigitora, Bombina lichuanensis, and Bombina fortinuptialis due to low mtDNA distances between those populations. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 126–134, provided an account, photograph, and map.
