Pingwu Toothed Toad is an amphibian of the genus Toothed Toad of the family Spadefoot Toad, and is endemic to China.

Adult toads are mostly found in small mountain streams with dense vegetation and nearby forests. During the day, they often hide under rocks in the stream or in earth holes on the shore; at night, they live on the shore or on rocks in the stream. During the breeding season, when mating, the male toad holds the female toad's crotch with its forelimbs. The female toad lays about 505 eggs, which are ring-shaped and adhere to the bottom of the water stone. There are few tadpoles, and they often live among the stones in the water pools of small streams.
