Leptobrachium hainanense, the Hainan pseudomoustache toad, is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to the mountains of central and southwestern Hainan Island, China . Before being recognized as a separate species, it was confused with Leptobrachium hasseltii.[2]
Leptobrachium hainanense is an uncommon species inhabiting evergreen broadleaf forests and breeding in hill streams. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, and is also locally collected for food.[1] Males grow to snout-vent length of about 52 mm (2.0 in). Tadpoles are about 67 mm (2.6 in) in length.[3]
