本文记述了采自湖南省桑植县的角蟾属Megophrys（两栖纲：无尾目：角蟾科）一新种--瘤粒角蟾Megophrys tuberogranulatus Shen，Mo et Li，sp. nov.（全模HNUL 03080902，成年雄性，SVL：38.2 mm）。Megophrys tuberogranulatus与Megophrys kuatunensis和Megophrys minor密切相关。该种与近缘种的区别特征是：大腿和胫骨背侧皮肤颗粒状，有大结节，掌骨内结节较大，上眼睑宽于眶间隙，后肢较长，左右跟骨部分重叠。模式标本保存于湖南师范大学生命科学学院动物博物馆（当代动物学56（4）：432-436，2010）。
A new species of Megophrys (Amphibia: Anura: Megophryidae), Megophrys tuberogranulatus Shen, Mo et Li, sp. nov. (Holotype HNUL 03080902, adult male, SVL: 38.2 mm), from Sangzhi County, Hunan Province, is described. Megophrys tuberogranulatus is closely related to both Megophrys kuatunensis and Megophrys minor. Characters of the new species that dif- ferentiate this species from close relatives are skin granulated with big tubercles on the dorsal sides of both thigh and tibia, the bigger inner metacarpal tubercle, upper eyelid wider than the interorbital space, hind limbs longer, overlapping of the left and right calcaneal parts. The type specimens are deposited in the Animal Museum of Life Sciences College of Hunan Normal Uni- versity (Current Zoology 56 (4): 432-436, 2010).
