It is endemic to Yunnan, China.[1] In Changning County, western Yunnan, specimens were found of an unnamed species of Hemiphyllodactylus were described as “a slender body and unique U-shaped digital lamellae”. This is the first known species of any known Hemiphyllodactylus from this population, thus being described as a new species. [2]
