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 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 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.
The Omei brown frog or Omei wood frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to central China. Its name refers to Mount Emei, its type locality. Its natural habitats are hill forests and grass clumps in forests. Breeding occurs in late summer and the tadpoles overwinter; the breeding habitat is standing water. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.
The Yunnan pond frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae found in south-western China and possibly in adjacent parts of Myanmar. The total length of this medium-sized frog is 54–56 mm (2.1–2.2 in).
Feihyla palpebralis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae, sometimes known as the Vietnamese bubble-nest frog or the white-cheeked small treefrog. In addition to its type locality, Langbian Plateau in southeastern Vietnam, it is found in southern China and northern Vietnam south to Tam Dao, and is expected to be found in the intervening Laos and Vietnam.
Zhangixalus omeimontis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to China. Its common name is Omei whipping frog or Omei treefrog, in reference to its type locality, Mount Emei (Chinese: 峨嵋山; pinyin: Éméi Shān; Wade–Giles: O2-mei2 Shan1) in Sichuan. It is found in southern and central China in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, and Hubei provinces. It is a relatively common frog that inhabits forests, and sometimes farmland.
