TypesHolotype: SYS (Sun Yat-sen University Museum of Biology) r001242, an adult female, collected 31 May 2015 by Jian Wang and Hai-Long He. Paratype. SYS r001237, an adult male, from the same locality as the holotype, collected 30 May 2015 by Jian Wang. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Ptychozoon bannaense sp. nov. can be diagnosed by the combination of the following characters: (1) body size moderate, SVL 83.2 and 87.5 mm for two specimens; (2) rostral with a short dorsomedian groove; (3) dorsum of head and body covered with granular scales without enlarged tubercles, but male with several enlarged tubercles on the occipital region; (4) supranasals separated from each other by a large internasal; (5) predigital notch in preantebrachial cutaneous flap absent; (6) digits of hands and feet strongly webbed; (7) male possesses 17 preanofemoral pores in a continuous row; (8) the tail with 24 pairs of lateral denticulate cutaneous lobes, ending in a small terminal cutaneous flap; (9) width of tail and caudal lobes progressively decreasing posteriorly; (10) lack of lobe fusion at the terminal caudal flap border; (11) tail tubercle absent; (12) four dark dorsal bands between fore- and hind limbs insertions, the third and fourth dorsal bands fused into an X-shaped mark.

CommentAbundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet “bannaense” refers to the type locality, Xishuangbanna, which is usually referred to as “Banna” in Chinese. In the local aboriginal language, the “Xishuang” means “twelve”, the “Banna” means “a small administrative district”.
