CommentNatural history: All specimens were collected during the evening of 1 July 2019 on the surface of a forested karst hill in Yanshan County, Yunnan Province, China (Figure 10). There were several gravid females among the specimens collected, each containing two eggs. We also found two eggs placed together loosely in the crevices of the same hill, which we assumed were laid by Hemiphyllodactylus yanshanensis sp. nov. based on their size (Figure 10), indicating that its reproductive season extends into July. The karst hills were surrounded by paddy fields and several huts and houses were nearby (Agung et al. 2022). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet yanshanensis refers to the name of Yanshan County where the specimens were found.
