Range Description: This species is known from Doi Inthanon and the Mae Sruay District, in Chiang Rai Province in northern Thailand (Inger and Cha-nard, 1997), and the Annamite mountains of central Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Stuart, 1999). Further surveys are likely to discover this cryptic species (which looks like a small Odorrana livida) in other areas, especially in areas between known sites. In Thailand it has been recorded from 1,100-1,800m asl, and in Lao Peoples Democratic Republic from 600-700m asl.

Conservation Actions: Doi Inthanon is one of Thailands flagship National Parks, which has some constraints but is essentially secure. The one known location in Lao Peoples Democratic Republic is within Nakai Nam Theun National Biodiversity Conservation Area. Research suggested on the species’ population status, life history and ecology; more surveys are likely to find more populations of this species in the future.
