Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is known from southern China, northern Viet Nam and northern Laos (Ohler, 2007). There are records from: Mengyang, in Yunnan province, China (Wu and Tian, 1995); Menglian and Jinghong in Yunnan province, and at Debao in Guangxi province, China (reported as A. chunganensis) (Fei et al., 1999); Fan Si Pan Mountain in Viet Nam (reported as A. chunganensis) (Ohler et al., 2000); the vicinity of Sa Pa village, in Lao Cai Province in northern Viet Nam (reported as Rana daorum) (Bain et al., 2003); Phou Louey
Mountain, Phou Louey National Biodiversity Conservation Area, Vieng Tong District, in northern Laos (reported as R. daorum) (Stuart, 2005); and an unspecified location in Huaphahn Province, northern Laos (reported as R. daorum) (Bain et al., 2006). A photographic record from Hong Kong should be treated as unconfirmed. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. Known localities are between 680 and 1,900m asl.
