Leptolalax
''Leptolalax'' is a genus of frogs ( order Anura) in the family Megophryidae. They are sometimes known as Asian toads, metacarpal-tubercled toads, or slender litter frogs, although many species-specific common names do not follow these conventions, and many species do not have common names. They are widely distributed in southeastern and eastern Asia, from southern China and northeastern India to the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. ''Leptolalax'' are typically small and have a cryptic colour pattern and no obvious morphological characters useful in systematic studies. Consequently, both molecular genetic analyses and analysis of advertisement calls by male frogs have been important in identifying new species. Two subgenera are recognized: ''Leptolalax'' and ''Lalos'' (the latter was first named as ''Lalax'', but the name was already occupied). ''Lalos'' has a more northern distribution and only includes species from the continental Asia, whereas ''Leptolalax'' includes all the sp ...

Leptolalax Bourreti
''Leptolalax bourreti'' (Bourret's Asian toad or Bourret litter frog) is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is known with certainty only from the vicinity of its type locality in Sa Pa in northern Vietnam. Earlier records from Laos refer to ''Leptolalax eos'' (described in 2011) and those from Thailand probably to an unnamed species. Its natural habitats are subtropical moist lowland forests, moist montane forests, and river A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of wate ...s. Its status is insufficiently known.

Leptolalax Kajangensis
''Leptobrachella kajangensis'', also known as the Kajang slender litter frog, is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to Malaysia and only known from its type locality, a small cave near the top of Gunung Kajang (=Mount Kajang), on Tioman Island, a small island located 32 km off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
