Closely related to Amolops chunganensis according to the original publication. See discussion by Ohler, 2007, Alytes, 25: 55-74, regarded Amolops daorum as a junior synonym. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1514, regarded Amolops mengyangensis as a junior synonym of Amolops chunganensis. See comment under Amolops daorum for discussion of taxonomic issues. In the Amolops monticola group of Stuart, Bain, Phimmachak, and Spence, 2010, Herpetologica, 66: 52-66.
