Abstract

An analysis of the 16S rRNA mitochondrial sequence from the tail muscle of the tadpole Quasipaa delacouri in Pu Mat National Park, Nghe An Province, found 100% similarity with the DNA sequence of the species on GenBank, thereby expanding the distribution of this species in central Vietnam. The tadpole Q. delacuori in Nghe An Province has an oval body and a total length at stage 25,ranging from 22.89 to 32.44 mm. The tadpole has a light greyish-yellow colour, and the upper part of the back is darker than the ventral surface. Q. delacuori tadpoles have 11 labial tooth rows located in the inside of the mouth with the labial tooth row formula (LTRF): III(5 + 5)/(1 + 1)II. The upper and lower jaws of the tadpole are inside the labial tooth rows. The labial teeth and jaws of the tadpole have serrated edges on the outside with the horns curving into the mouth. The floor and the roof of the buccal cavity of the tadpole have many papillae with different lengths, and some papillae in the mouth have the shape of roots.
