Nanorana feae (common names: Kakhien paa frog, ocellated spiny frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Yunnan, China, and the Kachin Hills in Myanmar. [2] The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist. [3] This little-known species probably inhabits hill streams in forested areas. [1]
Nanorana feae are relatively large frogs, attaining a snout–vent length of about 92 mm (3.6 in). [4]
Brachytarsophrys feae is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is found in southern China and northern Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam; it is likely to occur in Laos. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.
Hymenochirus feae, also known as Gaboon dwarf clawed frog, is a species of frog in the family Pipidae. It is endemic to Gabon and is only known with certainty from its type locality on the coast of central Gabon. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.
The Doichang frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is only known from its type locality, Doi Chang, mountain north of Chiang Mai (Thailand), Fansipan mountain in northern Vietnam, and Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan, China.
Nanorana quadranus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to central China. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and shrubland, with breeding taking place in small rivers. It is a common species believed to be declining. It is threatened by collection for food and also habitat loss.
Nanorana unculuanus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to central and southern Yunnan, China, although it is expected to have wider distribution than currently known, possibly extending into Vietnam. Its natural habitats are fast-flowing hill streams and riparian habitats in forests and grasslands, but also man-made habitats like roadside drainage ditches and ponds. It is a rare and secretive species that appears to be declining. It is currently threatened by collection for food and also by habitat loss.
Nanorana parkeri is a species of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Tibet (China) and in Nepal, but it is expected to be found also in Bhutan and parts of India. It is the second amphibian, and the first Neobatrachian, to have its whole genome published.
Nanorana pleskei is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Until recently it has been only known from southwestern/central western China from elevations between 3,300–4,500 m (10,800–14,800 ft), but there is now one record also from Bhutan. Notice, however, that earlier records outside China have turned out to be misidentifications.
Nanorana ventripunctata is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to northwestern Yunnan, China. It inhabits lakes, pools and ponds in alpine areas, occurring near streams and rivers in open, high-elevation habitats. It breeds in still-water pools and ponds.
Nanorana annandalii is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northeastern India and eastern Nepal. Nanorana gammii(Anderson, 1871) was until quite recently (2006) considered a synonym of Nanorana annandalii but is now treated as a separate species; this change confounds older records of Nanorana annandalii. This species lives in rocky streams and brooks in montane forests. It can also be found near pools in forest clearings. It is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation).
Nanorana arnoldi is a large species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in southwestern China, northern Myanmar, eastern Nepal, and adjacent northeastern India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, rivers, and freshwater springs. It is primarily threatened by collection for consumption, but also by habitat loss.
Nanorana blanfordii is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northeastern India, southern Tibet (China), and eastern Nepal, and likely in the adjacent western Bhutan. The specific name blanfordii honours William Thomas Blandford, a British geologist and zoologist.
Nanorana conaensis is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Its name refers to its type locality, Mama in Cona County in Tibet. Note that while large parts of Cona County are located within Arunachal Pradesh in the area that is controlled by India but claimed by China, Mama is on the Tibetan side of the border. It has recently been reported also from Bhutan. Its natural habitats are subtropical moist montane forest, high-altitude shrubland, and rivers.
Nanorana liebigii, also known as Sikkim paa frog, Liebig's paa frog, Liebig's frog, and spiny-armed frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in the Himalayas, specifically in Bhutan, southern Tibet (China), northern India, and Nepal. The specific name liebigii honours a certain "Dr von Liebig Jr.", likely referring to Justus von Liebig, German botanist and chemist.
Nanorana maculosa is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to central Yunnan, China, where it occurs in Jingdong County and Shuangbai County. This rare frog inhabits forest streams. It is threatened primarily by collection for human consumption. It is currently protected by the Ailaoshan and Wuliangshan National Nature Reserves.
Nanorana medogensis is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Tibet, China, and only known from near its type locality in Mêdog County in southeastern Tibet, near the Indian border. It lives in forested streams, and is sometimes also found at the edges of pools and ponds.
Nanorana mokokchungensis is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Northeast India and only known from its type locality, Mokokchung in Nagaland.
Nanorana polunini is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Nyalam County in southern Tibet (China), Nepal, and possibly Kashmir (India). It is a common species in Nepal but rare in China. It lives in stream habitats in montane forest.
Nanorana yunnanensis, commonly known as Yunnan paa frog, Yunnan spiny frog, Bourret's paa frog or Bourret's frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in southwestern China, Vietnam, Myanmar, northern Thailand, and likely in the intervening Laos. Its natural habitats are small and large streams in montane forests, scrub vegetation and grasslands, and it has also been found in ditches. It is threatened primarily by collection for human consumption, but also by habitat loss caused by agricultural development and infrastructure development.
Zhangixalus feae is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southwestern Yunnan (China), northern Laos, northern and central highlands of Vietnam, northern Thailand, and Myanmar. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.
