Nanorana
Nanorana is a genus of dicroglossid frogs. They are found in Asia, from the Himalayan region of northern Pakistan and northern India, Nepal, and western China east to montane southern China and southeast to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and northern Vietnam. Common names of these frogs reflect the complex taxonomic history of the genus (see below) and include Yunnan slow frogs (or simply slow frogs) and High Himalaya frogs (for the now-synonymized genus "Altirana"). Taxonomy. The taxonomy of true frogs and their allies has been subject to numerous changes during the last decade and is not yet fully settled . "Nanorana" in particular has seen big changes. As currently delineated, "Nanorana" is a quite large genus with 28 species, resulting from considering "Chaparana", "Paa", and "Feirana" as junior synonyms. Currently these taxa may be recognized as subgenera, but their delineation is not entirely settled and not all species have been assigned to subgenera. Note, however, that species at one point placed in these (sub)genera might currently be placed also in genera other than "Nanorana" ("Quasipaa", "Ombrana", and "Allopaa"). Species. The following species are recognised in the genus "Nanorana":
