Rana huanrensis Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1990
Rana huanrensis Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1990, Key to Chinese Amph.: 131, 298. Type(s): Not designated; given as LIU (a presumed field number) 8704018, by Liu, Zhang, and Liu, 1993, Acta Zootaxon.

Type locality: Huanren County, Liaoning Province, China; given as "Balidiam, Huanren, Liaoning, Province (41° 23′ N, 125° 26′ E); altitude 520 m", China by Liu, Zhang, and Liu, 1993, Acta Zootaxon.

Comment
In the Section Rana, Rana (Rana) temporaria group of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 333. Diagnosed inadvertently in a key. See Liu, Zhang, and Liu, 1993, Acta Zootaxon. Sinica, 18: 493–497, for augmented description. Closely related to Rana dybowskii (and previously reported in Korea under that name) according to Yang, Kim, Min, Suh, Kang, Matsui, and Fei, 2000, Korean J. Biol. Sci., 4: 45–50. Kim, Min, Yang, and Matsui, 2002, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 19: 369–382, reported on evolutionary relationships of this species with other Asian brown frogs. Yang, Kim, Min, and Suh, 2001, Monogr. Korean Amph.: 64–65, provided a brief account, figure, and map for South Korea. In the Rana amurensis group of Fei, Ye, Huang, Jiang, and Xie, 2005, in Fei et al. (eds.), Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 107. Li, Lu, and Li, 2005, Sichuan J. Zool., 24: 268–270, provided a distribution map for China. Lu, Wang, Dong, and Li, 2005, Sichuan J. Zool., 24: 259, provided a record for Jilin Province, China. Che, Pang, Zhao, Matsui, and Zhang, 2007, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 24: 71–80, found Rana huanrenensis to be imbedded phylogenetically within Rana chensinensis, and although they considered the two taxa likely to represent one species, they did not make the formal taxonomic change. Li, Lu, Wang, Wang, Fang, and Li, 2005, Herpetol. Sinica, 10: 63–67, compared this species in northeastern China with Rana zhenhaiensis, Rana chensinensis, Rana dybowskii, Rana amurensis, and Rana kukunoris. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1033–1038, provided an account (as Rana huanrenensis), figures, and map for China and included it in their Rana amurensis group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 270–271, provided a brief account including photographs of specimens and habitat. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 304–305, provided an account, photographs, and a range map for China. Li, Lian, and Lu, 2010, Res. Tadpoles Liaoning: 48–51, described and pictured the larva. Song, Chang, and Chung, 2005, Korean J. Environment. Biol., 23: 157–162, compared this Korean frog to the other Brown Frogs in Korea and Rana tsishimensis. Dong, Zhou, and Yang, 2016 "2015", MtDNA, Part A, 25: 4551–4552, reported on the complete mtDNA genome. Borzée, Litvinchuk, Ri, Andersen, Nam, Jon, Man, Choe, Kwon, Othman, Messenger, Bae, Shin, Kim, Maslova, Luedtke, Hobin, Moores, Seliger, Glenk, and Jang, 2021, Animals, 11 (2057): 1–37, provided a modeled distribution that show the species extending into P.D.R. Korea, although no confirmed records are currently known from there. Andersen, Chuang, Choe, Kim, Kwon, Jang, and Borzée, 2022, Zool. Stud., Taipei, 61(25): 1–10, reported on the elevational range (25–1135 m) in Rep. Korea.
