The first new species from Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan, China and Ha Giang Province, Vietnam, can be distinguished from its congeners by having a relatively small body size, head being wider than long, heels not meeting, tibiotarsal articulation reaching centre or anterior margin of tympanum, fifth toe being longer than third toe, nuptial pad being present on first finger and dorsal surface being green with more or less dark-edged brown spots. The second new species from Lincang City, Yunnan Province, China, can be distinguished from its congeners by having a relatively small body size, head being wider than long, heels not meeting, tibiotarsal articulation reaching posterior margin or centre of tympanum, fifth toe and third toe being approximately equal in length, dorsal surface green with no or a few or many dark-edged brown spots.
