Odorrana leporipes is a species of

iconotype.[3]

Description

Odorrana leporipes is a relatively large species where females can attain a snout–vent length of 102 mm (4.0 in). One male was reported to measure 93 mm (3.7 in), but it is uncertain whether its sex was correctly identified; instead it is possible that the type series consisted of females only. The body is dorsoventrally compressed. The

dorsum is smooth with slightly distinguishable dorsolateral folds. The flanks are granular while the venter is smooth. The dorsum is dark green and the flanks are stony gray with white marbling. The legs have no banding.[3]

Habitat and conservation

The type series was collected at 700 m (2,300 ft)

above sea level.[1][3] This species is presumed to occur near to fast-flowing rivers and streams in montane tropical forest. Threats to it are unknown, as is its possible presence in protected areas.[1]
