Nidirana chapaensis, commonly known as the Chapa frog or glandular-sided frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand, [1] although records from Thailand may refer to Nidirana lini . [2]

Nidirana chapaensis is associated with pools and small streams. It is at least locally common, and it appears to tolerate some habitat modification. Considering these factors and the relatively broad distribution of N. chapaensis, IUCN does not consider it threatened. [1]

Microhyla pulchra is a species of narrow-mouthed frog found in northeastern India, southern China, and Southeast Asia south to at least Thailand but possibly as far south as Malaysia and Singapore. It has also been introduced to Guam.

Leptolalax oshanensis (Oshan metacarpal-tubercled toad or pigmy crawl frog) is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to southern–central China (Guizhou, Hubei, and Sichuan provinces). Its type locality is Mount Emei (Chinese: 峨嵋山; pinyin: Éméi Shān; Wade–Giles: O2-mei2 Shan1). The same mountain has given the species its name, although this is now obscured because "Oshan" is a contraction of the transliteration that is no longer widely used, Omeishan. It has also been reported from Thailand and Laos but these are now considered to represent Leptolalax minimus.
