Abstract


We record six species of amphibian for the first time from Thanh Hoa Province based on newly collected specimens from Xuan Lien Nature Reserve, comprising one species of Boulenophrys, one species of Hylarana, one species of Odorrana, one species of Rhacophorus, and two species of Theloderma. Morphological data and ecological notes of aforementioned species are provided. In addition, we provide an updated list of 56 amphibian species from Xuan Lien Nature Reserve, Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam.
