Odorrana livida, also known as the green mountain frog, green cascade frog, Tenasserim frog, bright frog, large odorous frog, or large-eared rock frog, is a species of

neotype locality at the Dawna Range in Myanmar, near the border to Thailand,[1][2] but molecular data suggest that it is present in northeastern India and in peninsular Thailand too, while records from China refer to other species. In much of the literature, this species has been confused with other species, including Odorrana graminea.[2]

Description

Adult females measure 89–97 mm (3.5–3.8 in) in

dorsum; the limbs are lighter brown, without transverse bars.[3]

Habitat and conservation

Little precise information on ecological requirements of this species is available. It probably occurs near fast-flowing rivers and streams in montane tropical forests. Breeding presumably takes places in the streams. Its conservation status is insufficiently known.[1]
