English Names
Longchuan Bubble-nest Frog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 112).
Longchuan Small Treefrog (Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 260).
Distribution
Gaoligong Shan and Hengduanshan mountains, Yunnan, China, 1350-1600 m elevation; in adjacent northern Vietnam (Lai Chau Province); presumably in adjacent northeastern Myanmar; reported from northeastern Bangladesh (Satchari National Park, Habiganj District, Sylhet), suggesting present in intervening northeastern India and northern Myanmar.
Comment
Closely related to Philautus gracilipes and Philautus rhododiscus (now Theloderma rhododiscus), according to the original publication, where the molecular markers, advertisement call, and external morphology were detailed. Not addressed by Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 71-73. Yang, 1991, Amph. Fauna of Yunnan: 192-193, and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 260-261, provided accounts. See also brief account by Zhao and Yang, 1997, Amph. Rept. Hengduan Mountains Region: 119-120. Orlov, Murphy, Ananjeva, Ryabov, and Ho, 2002, Russ. J. Herpetol., 9: 95, reported the Vietnam component of distribution but did not reference voucher specimens. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 35, provided specific localities for Vietnam. Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 104, provided a brief account for Yunnan, China. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 717-719, provided an account (as Aquixalus longchuanensis) and spot map. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 431, provided a brief account (as Aquixalus longchuanensis). Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 512, provided an account (as Liuixalus longchuanensis), photographs, and a range map for China. See comment under Theloderma andersoni. Yu, Liu, Hou, Li, and Yang, 2019, Zootaxa, 4577: 381–391, reported the species from Mengla County, extreme southern Yunnan, China, and noted that at least some of the previous records of Raorchestes longchuanensis in southern Yunnan may also apply to Raorchestes parvulus. Al-Razi, Maria, Hasan, and Muzaffar, 2020, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 14 (1: e225): 119–131, reported the species from northeastern Bangladesh on the Indian border, based on morphology and DNA analysis.
