Description
A. jiangxiensis differs from the three previously described Chinese and Japanese Andrias species by having a smooth head with indistinct tubercules.
Range & habitat
The Jiangxi giant salamander is thought to be restricted to Jiangxi Province in China. It is known to have been densely distributed around two towns in Jing'an County prior to the 1990s, but by 2020, wild populations were only known from Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve.
