Oreolalax rhodostigmatus
Hu and Fei In Liu, Hu, and Fei 1979
| ORDER | FAMILY |
|---|---|
| Anura | Megophryidae |
Note
This species of frog has effectively troglobitic larvae which are troglomorphic but whose adults are not troglomorphic and are effectively troglophilic and/or epigean. It is an important source of potenetial information on the evolution of troglomorphy.
