Holotype. Adult female (LSUHC 14066) collected on 4 November 2018 in proximity of a stream below the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, Mon State, Myanmar (97.099379 N, 17.478863 E, 1033 m in elevation) by Perry L. Wood, Jr., Myint Kyaw Thura, L. Lee Grismer, Jamie R. Oaks, Evan S. H. Quah, and Aung Lin. Paratype. Sub-adult male (LSUHC 14067) bearing the same collection data as the holotype. Diagnosis. Ansonia kyaiktiyoensis sp. nov. is recognised as a member of the genus Ansonia based on the molecular phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1) and a combination of the following morphological characters: small body size (maximum SVL 24.0 mm in males and females); long slender limbs bearing long slender digits with bulbous tips; absence of parotoid glands; weak subarticular tubercles; and membranous foot webbing (Chan et al. 2014; Davis et al. 2016; Grismer et al. 2016; Inger 1960, 1966, 1992; Wilkinson et al. 2012). It can be differentiated from all congeners by the following combination of characters: SVL 24.0 mm in the single male and female; snout projecting beyond lower jaw; tympanum visible; absence of interorbital and tarsal ridges; first finger shorter than second; finger and toe tips bulbous; approxima
