Nanorana Liebigii
''Nanorana liebigii'', also known as Sikkim paa frog, Liebig's paa frog, Liebig's frog, and spiny-armed frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in the Himalayas, specifically in Bhutan, southern Tibet (China), northern India, and Nepal.

Description ''Nanorana liebigii'' are relatively large frogs: adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The body is stocky. The head is wider than it is long, and the snout is rounded. The tympanum is faintly visible. The toes are fully webbed. Skin is rough with scattered warts on the back and sides. Tadpoles have long tail that is twice as long as the body, for maximum total length of about .

Nanorana Aenea
The Doichang frog (''Nanorana aenea'') is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is only known from its type locality, Doi Chang, mountain north of Chiang Mai (Thailand), Fansipan mountain in northern Vietnam (type locality for the now-synonymized ''Rana fansipani''), and Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan, China. Description Adult males of Doichang frog are in snout-vent length and have spines in several parts of their bodies, a male secondary sex characteristic. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ..., more so in Vietnam than in Thailand. In Vietnam it is probably eaten locally. Reference ...

Nanorana Conaensis
''Nanorana conaensis'' (Cona paa frog, Cona spiny frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Its name refers to its type locality, Mama in Cona County in Tibet. Note that while large parts of Cona County are located within Arunachal Pradesh in the area that is controlled by India but claimed by China, Mama is on the Tibetan side of the border. It has recently been reported also from Bhutan. Its natural habitats are subtropical moist montane forest, high-altitude shrubland, and rivers.

Nanorana Pleskei
''Nanorana pleskei'' (common names: Songpan slow frog, Pleske's high altitude frog, plateau frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Until recently it has been only known from southwestern/central western China (Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai, southeastern Gansu) from elevations between , but there is now one record also from Bhutan. Notice, however, that earlier records outside China have turned out to be misidentifications. Its natural habitats are subtropical high-altitude shrubland, grassland, rivers, swamps, intermittent freshwater marshes, and ponds. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Nanorana Annandalii
''Nanorana annandalii'' (common names: Annandale's paa frog, Annandale's frog, Boulenger's hill frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal) and eastern Nepal. ''Nanorana gammii'' (Anderson, 1871) was until quite recently (2006) considered a synonym of ''Nanorana annandalii'' but is now treated as a separate species; this change confounds older records of ''Nanorana annandalii''. This species lives in rocky streams and brooks in montane forests. It can also be found near pools in forest clearings. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ... (deforestation).
