Oreolalax


Oreolalax is a genus of amphibian in the family Megophryidae.[1][2] They are mostly endemic to southwestern China, with one species in northern Vietnam (Oreolalax sterlingae),[1][3] and possibly extending into adjacent Laos. There is also a population in Arunachal Pradesh (Northeast India) that has not yet been assigned to a species,[1] although it might rather be a Scutiger.[3]

Many Oreolalax species are endemic to highly restricted geographical areas in the Eastern Himalayas, especially in Sichuan, China. The ranges often overlap with those of Scutiger species.
