Morphology and Ecological Habitat of Odorrana nasica

In July 2018 and February 2021, an adult male and 2 adult females Odorrana nasica were collected from Xiaoqiaogou, Wenshan national nature reserve and Dulong Town, Maguan County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. Morphological measurements were taken for these three specimens. Snout-vent length of females rang 71.3 mm to 75.7 mm, and the male is 49.3 mm. They have olive green and brown dorsum, among which several individuals have brown spots when in living. Conical spines present on the dorsal sacral vertebrae of male, while it's absent in females snout prominent; eanthus rostralis sharp and loreal region deeply concave. Dark bars are present on the dorsal surface of the limbs; while the ventral of limes are uniform yellow or white. All major morphometric characters of these specimens were found to match with the type specimen of O. nasica. These specimens clustered with O. nasica from Ha Tinh Province, Vietnam, with uncorrected pairwise distances of 1.1%. Therefore, both morphological and molecular analyses confirmed O. nasica should be a member of amphibian fauna in China.
