Most similar to Amolops monticola according to the original publication.

Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 3963, provided a brief account including photographs. Li, Zhao, and Dong, 2010, Amph. Rept. Tibet: 55-56, provided an account for Xizang, China. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 405, provided an account, photographs, and a range map.
