Amolops loloensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in southern and western Sichuan and one locality in north-central Yunnan, China. [2] Its natural habitats are small mountain streams in forests and grasslands. It is threatened by infrastructure development for human settlement, potentially also by water pollution from the mining industry. [1] T

Male Amolops loloensis grow to a snout–vent length of 58 mm (2.3 in) and females to 74 mm (2.9 in). Tadpoles are up to 22 mm (0.87 in) in length. [3]
