Class: Amphibia > Order: Anura > Family: Ranidae > Genus: Odorrana > Species: Odorrana macrotympana

Rana macrotympana Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 78. Holotype: KIZ 94001, by original designation. Type locality: Yinjiang, Great Yinjiang Lake and its tributaries, Yunnan, China, 300 m elevation.

Odorrana macrotympana — Frost, 2009, Amph. Spec. World, vers. 5.3. Recommended combination due to the prior recognition of the Rana livida group as Odorrana; Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 383.

Common Names

Large-eared Stinky Frog (Zug, 2022, Smithson. Contrib. Zool., 653: 39).

大耳臭蛙 (Chinese: Wang, Ren, Chen, Lyu, Guo, Jiang, Chen, Li, Guo, Wang, and Che, 2020, Biodiversity Sci., 28: App. 1: 10).

Distribution

Irrawady drainages in Yunnan, particularly in the Yinjiang region, China; reported from Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary, Sagaing Division, northern Myanmar.

Geographic Occurrence

Natural Resident: China, People's Republic of, Myanmar

Comment

Should be compared to Odorrana tiannanensis/Odorrana megatympanum (DRF). Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 72, provided a brief account (as Rana pleuraden) for Yunnan, China. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 383, provided an account, photographs, and a range map. Liu, Rao, Zhang, Lwin, Mo, Zuo, Yin, Quan, and Li, 2022, Herpetozoa, Wien, 35: 9–19, redescribed and provided images of the type, reported on the phylogenetic position based on a Bayesian tree of 16s mtDNA, finding it the sister taxon of Odorrana tiannanensis; the authors also provided the first records from Myanmar, from Nam Pa Gon and Nam E Zu sections, Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary, Sagaing Division. Zug, 2022, Smithson. Contrib. Zool., 653: 39, briefly discussed identification, habitat, and range in Myanmar. See brief account by Che and Yu, 2026, Amph. Mt. Gaoligong: 139–140, for the Mt. Gaoligong area, western Yunnan, China.
