Comment
Reviewed by Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 171-174. In the Rana lateralis group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 42. Removed from this group by Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 318. See accounts by Yang, 1991, Amph. Fauna of Yunnan: 157-159; Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China: 291; and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 222-223. Dubois and Ohler, 2005, J. Nat. Hist., 39: 1759-1778, made a detailed comparison with Nanorana aenea (as Chaparana). Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 86-87, provided a brief account (as Paa unculuanus) for Yunnan, China. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Chaparana unculuanus) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 477. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1450-1455, provided an account (as Unculuana unculuanus), figures, and map.
