The Doichang frog (Nanorana aenea) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. [2] [3] It is only known from its type locality, Doi Chang, mountain north of Chiang Mai ( Thailand), Fansipan mountain in northern Vietnam (type locality for the now-synonymized Rana fansipani), and Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan, China. [2] [4]
Adult males of Doichang frog are 65–77 mm (2.6–3.0 in) in snout-vent length and have spines in several parts of their bodies, a male secondary sex characteristic. [4]
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss, more so in Vietnam [5] than in Thailand. [1] In Vietnam it is probably eaten locally. [5]
