Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Nanorana yunnanensis by Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 319, where it had been placed by Inger, Zhao, Shaffer, and Wu, 1990, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 58: 12-13; Zhao and Adler, 1993, Herpetol. China: 151. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1415-1421, provided an account (as Paa sichuanensis) for China, figures, and map, and included this species in their Paa yunnanensis group. See Nanorana yunnanensis account for literature under that name that may refer to this species. Not addressed, and therefore not assigned to subgenus, by Che, Zhou, Hu, Papenfuss, Wake, and Zhang, 2010, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 107: 13765-13770, and Che, Zhou, Hu, Papenfuss, Wake, and Zhang, 2010, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Suppl. Inform., doi:10.1073/pnas.1008415107/-/DCSupplemental: 2. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 376, provided a brief account (as Paa sichuanensis) including photographs.
