Comment
Most similar to Amolops afghanus and Amolops macrorhynchus [now = Odorrana chapaensis, DRF] according to the original publication. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1553-1555, provided an account, figures, and range map, and included the species in their Amolops chapaensis group. (Given that Amolops chapaensis has been reassigned to Odorrana, one presumes that the generic assignement of this species should be reevaluated—DRF.) Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 410, provided a brief account including photographs. Li, Zhao, and Dong, 2010, Amph. Rept. Tibet: 56-57, provided an account for Xizang, China.
