Atympanolalax Fei and Ye, 2016 – coined as a subgenus of Oreolalax | |
Oreolalax is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae.[1][2] Most member species are 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 may rather be assigned to the genusScutiger.[3]
