Comment
Most similar to Rana daorum and Rana changanensis according to the original publication. Stuart, Bain, Phimmachak, and Spence, 2010, Herpetologica, 66: 64, discussed the possibility that Amolops daorum and Amolops iriodes may be conspecific, and placed this species in their Amolops monticola group.
