RESUMEN
The hilly region in eastern Guangdong, China lacks comprehensive scientific investigations for decades, especially in terms of herpetofauna. In recent years, several highly threatened amphibians have been gradually discovered from this region. In this work, three new species of the genus Boulenophrys are described, which are endemic from only one or two known localities in eastern Guangdong. These discoveries enrich the diversity of Boulenophrys in eastern Guangdong. With the large number of threatened urodeles and anuran species occurring in this densely populated area, the unique herpetological diversity in eastern Guangdong is facing the impacts of habitat degradation and fragmentation, and conservation actions are urgently required.

A novel approach was developed to regioselectively synthesize new 5-amino-6-arylamino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one 5 derivatives via a tandem aza-Wittig and annulation reactions of iminophosphorane 2, aromatic isocyanates, and hydrazine in 52-92% isolated yields. The compounds 5 reacted with triethyl orthoformate to give 1,8-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 6 in good yields (62-94%). Their structures were clearly confirmed by spectroscopy data (IR, (1)H NMR, MS), elemental analysis, or X-ray diffraction crystallography. The results of preliminary bioassay indicated that the compounds 5 and 6 possessed high antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea Pers and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Compounds 5 showed much better antifungal activities when R was Me instead of PhCH 2. Especially, compounds 6c, 6g, and 6i inhibited Sclerotinia by 100% at the concentration of 50 mg/L and by 83, 83, and 82% at the dosage of 10 mg/L, respectively.
