Amolops truongi is a species of true frog from Vietnam and China. [1] [2]
Amolops truongi is a green and/or brown frog. The species has been described from ten specimens, though later ones have been found. The seven examined males had an SVL of 37.5–41.3 mm (1.48–1.63 in) and the three females had an SVL of 61.5–62.5 mm (2.42–2.46 in). [1] [2]
The species is known from the following two localities: Muong La District in Son La Province, Vietnam, and Lvchun County in southern Yunnan Province, China. [1] [2]
Specimens have been collected at night between 18:30 and 21:00 p.m. They can be found at 1,200–1,430 m (3,940–4,690 ft) asl. They may be found on trees and rocks near streams 0.3–1 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in) above ground level. Their preferred temperature is 20–25 °C (68–77 °F). [1] [2]
The name, Amolops truongi, is a tribute to the Vietnamese zoologist Prof. Dr. Truong Quang Nguyen from the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources. [1]
Amolops is a genus of true frogs native mainly to eastern and south-eastern Asia. These frogs are closely related to such genera as Huia, Meristogenys, Odorrana, Pelophylax and Rana, but still form a distinct lineage among the core radiation of true frogs. They are commonly known as "torrent frogs" after their favorite habitat - small rapid-flowing mountain and hill streams - but this name is used for many similar-looking frogs regardless of whether they are loosely related.
Amolops cremnobatus is a species of frogs in the family Ranidae. It is found in north-central Laos and Vietnam. Its range might extend into Thailand. The specific name cremnobatus is derived from Greek kremnobates, meaning "frequenter of steep places", and refers to the steep waterfall from which the type series were collected. Common name Lao sucker frog has been coined for it. Another common name is the Lao torrent frog and it has been suggested that it should change to Inger’s Lao torrent frog because new species have been described from Amolops cremnobatus and will therefore avoid confusion.
Amolops ricketti is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in southern and eastern China and northern and central montane Vietnam.
Amolops torrentis, commonly known as the torrent sucker frog or the little torrent frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae and genus Amolops that is endemic to China, specifically only on the island of Hainan. They are most likely to be found in streams and surrounding wetland areas. Males have high-pitched mating calls, which are favored by females. Glands on this species' skin can secrete toxins. This species suffers from parasitism and habitat loss. Currently it is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN and is protected by law in China.
Amolops mengyangensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is known with certainty only from its type locality, the eponymous Mengyang in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, southern Yunnan province of China. However, if Amolops daorum is its junior synonym, distribution of Amolops mengyangensis would be considerably wider, including the vicinity of Sa Pa in northern Vietnam near the Chinese border, Hong Kong, and Houaphanh Province in eastern Laos, and presumably also including the intervening areas.
Amolops daorum is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is known from its type locality in the vicinity of Sa Pa in northern Vietnam near the Chinese border, Hong Kong, and Houaphanh Province in eastern Laos; presumably it also occurs the intervening areas. The Hong Kong record is considered suspicious, however.
Odorrana, commonly known as odorous frogs, is a genus of true frogs (Ranidae) from East Asia and surrounding regions. Many of these frogs inhabit fast-flowing mountain streams, and they typically have a remarkably pointed snout, as evidenced by common names like tip-nosed frog and scientific names like nasica or nasutus.
Gracixalus is a genus of shrub frogs from south-eastern Asia.
Quasipaa acanthophora is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to northern Vietnam and know from two locations, its type locality Mau Son in the Lang Son Province, and the Tay Yen Tu Nature Reserve in the Bac Giang Province. It is a sibling species of Quasipaa spinosa.
Gracixalus truongi, or Truong's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam and possibly nearby parts of Laos.
