Ophryophryne poilani. Centre in Annamite mountains (FMNH specimen). Single specimen found along rocky stream in evergreen forest. 700 m. Bufonidae: True toads (3 species) Bufo galeatus. Centre in Annamite foothills (Stuart 1998a) and Annamite mountains (FMNH specimen), south in Annamite mountains (TNSM specimen). Evergreen and evergreen mixed with deciduous forest. 500-600 m. Bufo macrotis. South (Stuart 1998e; TNSM specimen). Dry dipterocarp forest with grassland. 60 m. Bufo melanostictus. North (Ohler 1997) and in vicinity of Vientiane (AMNH specimen, FMNH specimen), centre in limestone region (Stuart 1998a, 1998b) and Annamite foothills (FMNH specimen), south (Stuart 1998e). Thrives in disturbed areas, and is regularly encountered near human habitation. 100-600 m. Most common species of toad in Lao PDR. Ranidae: Typical frogs (24 species) Amolops cremnobatus. Centre in Annamite mountains (FMNH specimen). The type locality of this recently described species is in Nakai-Nam Theun NBCA (Inger and Kottelat 1998). A second population was found in the same protected area 60 km south-east of the type locality shortly after publication of the species description (FMNH specimen; Plate 8). On boulders and rock faces along stream cascades and waterfalls. 600-700 m. Hoplobatrachus rugulosa. North (FMNH specimen from Xiangkhouang market) and in vicinity of Vientiane (AMNH specimen, FMNH specimen from Vientiane market), centre in limestone region (Stuart and Davidson 1999), south (field and market record in Stuart 1998e, Salavan market record in February 1999 by TC). Pools in open forest such as dipterocarp forest with grassland, or disturbed areas such as paddies and bomb crater ponds (Stuart and Davidson 1999). 60-220 m. This large-sized frog is commonly seen in markets. Seven hundred and ninety individuals were counted on a single afternoon at the Pakxe Km. 2 market in July 1998 (Stuart 1998e). Special Significance: CITES Appendix II (as H. tigerina). Taxonomic Issues: Alternatively placed in the genus Rana; rugulosa sometimes placed with H. tigerina. Huia nasica. Centre in Annamite mountains (FMNH specimen). On rock faces and bladed vegetation in spray zones of waterfalls in evergreen forest. 600-700 m. Amphibians and Reptiles Limnonectes blythii group. North (as Rana laticeps in Stuart 1998d), centre in limestone region (Stuart 1998a, 1998b), Nakai Plateau (Stuart 1998b) and Annamite foothills (Stuart 1998a, FMNH specimen). Along streams in evergreen forest. 200-600 m. Taxonomic Issues: The taxonomy of this species is confused, and more than one species is probably harboured under this name. Alternatively placed in the genus Rana. Limnonectes kohchangae. North (Ohler 1997). Habitat not reported. Taxonomic Issues: Alternatively placed in the genus Rana. Limnonectes kuhlii group. North (Ohler 1997, Stuart 1998c, 1998d, FMNH specimen from Xiangkhouang market), Annamite foothills (Stuart 1998a, FMNH specimen) and Annamite mountains (FMNH specimen), south in Annamite mountains (TNSM specimen). Rocky streams in evergreen forest. 300-1200 m. Taxonomic Issues: The taxonomy of this species is confused, and more than one species is probably harboured under this name. Alternatively placed in the genus Rana. Limnonectes limborgi. Centre in limestone region (FMNH specimen), Nakai Plateau (FMNH specimen) and Annamite foothills (Stuart 1998a). On leaf litter in dry stream beds in evergreen mixed with deciduous forest. 220-500 m. Taxonomic Issues: Alternatively placed in the genus Rana. Limnonectes pileata. North (Ohler 1997). Habitat not reported. Taxonomic Issues: Alternatively placed in the genus Rana. Occidozyga lima. North in vicinity of Vientiane (AMNH specimen, Ban Lak (52) market record in March 1998), centre in limestone region (Stuart 1998b) and Annamite foothills (FMNH specimen), south (Stuart 1998e, USNM specimen). Ponds in open forest such as dipterocarp forest with grassland, or in disturbed wet areas such as paddies and drainage ditches. 60-600 m. Occidozyga martensii. North (as Phrynoglossus laevis in Ohler 1997) and in vicinity of Vientiane (BLS), centre in limestone region (Stuart 1998a, 1998b) and Annamite foothills (FMNH specimen), south (as O. martensi (sic) in Stuart 1998e). Ponds in open forest such as dipterocarp forest with grassland, or in disturbed, wet areas such as paddies and bomb crater ponds (Stuart and Davidson 1999). 60-600 m. Taxonomic Issues: The taxonomy of this genus is confused. Lao specimens assigned to O. laevis (or Phrynoglossus laevis) and O. magnapustulosa by some workers are regarded here as O. martensii until revisionary work better elucidates the relationship among these species. 45

The species is regularly encountered in disturbed areas. B. L. Stuart / WCS. Paa microlineata from cascading stream in evergreen forest, Nakai- Nam Theun NBCA, November 1998. Recorded in Lao PDR from only two localities to date. B. L. Stuart / WCS. 46 Rhacophorus calcaneus from vegetation above a stream in wet evergreen forest in Nakai-Nam Theun NBCA, December 1998. B. L. Stuart / WCS. Rana livida along stream in evergreen forest in Phou Louey NBCA, April 1998. This species is common in this habitat in Lao PDR. B. L. Stuart / WCS.
