Amolops nepalicus is a species of frog in the family Ranidae.[1][2] It is endemic to Nepal and is only known from two localities in the Sankhuwasabha District. Common names Nepal sucker frog and Nepal cascade frog have been proposed for it.[2]
First described in 1991, Amolops nepalicus was brought into synonymy of Amolops marmoratus by works published in 2000–2004. This synonymy was questioned in 2012, but only formally rejected in 2020.[2][3]
