Hylarana leptoglossa, commonly known as the long-tongued frog, is a species of true frog in the genus Hylarana . It is native to Bangladesh, northeastern India, Myanmar, and western Thailand. It is also known under the common names Cope's frog, Cope's Assam frog, palebrown small frog, and Assam forest frog. [2] It has recently been reported also from Bhutan. [3]
Hylarana leptoglossa live near streams in evergreen forests. They are generally found at moderate elevations, below 500 m (1,600 ft) in India and between 600–700 m (2,000–2,300 ft) in Thailand. Deforestation, fires, and agricultural encroachment can pose threats to this species. [1]
