Desmoxytes aurata sp. n. is morphologically similar to D. delfae and D. perakensis sp. n. in the remarkable orange colouration, as well as some morphological characters (except characters in diagnosis). These three species show allopatric distribution ranges, and the big mountain ranges known as the Nakhon Si Thammarat and Sunkala Khiri mountains possibly act as dispersal barriers
