摘　　要：A new species of the genus Leptolalax is described from Doi Saket, Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters： 1） adult size large （male SVL 45.8-52.5 mm）; 2） tympanum distinct; 3） skin of dorsal surface mostly smooth, with distinct tubercles on dorsal and lateral parts of the body; 4） ventrolateral glandular ridge distinct and complete; 5） lateral body and groin covered with dark brown or black spots; 6） throat, chest, and belly nearly immaculate white; and 7） bi-colored iris, upper one- third golden, and lower two-thirds gray. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial 16S rRNA further distin- guishes it from its congeners for which sequences are available.A new species of the genus Leptolalax is described from Doi Saket, Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand.
