Nanorana feae

Nanorana feae (common names: Kakhien paa frog, ocellated spiny frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Yunnan, China, and the Kachin Hills in Myanmar.[2] The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.[3] This little-known species probably inhabits hill streams in forested areas.[1]
