Amolops akhaorum is a species of true frogs (family Ranidae)[2] discovered in 2007 in the Nam Ha National Protected Area, north-western Laos.[3] It is still only known from its type locality.[2] The specific name akhaorum refers to the local Akha people who helped with the fieldwork of the team who discovered the species.[3]
