Ingerana reticulata
Species of frog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ingerana reticulata is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. As presently known, it is endemic to Mêdog County in southeastern Tibet, China,[1][2][3] but its range might extend to northeast India, given the proximity of the border.[1] Common names reticulate eastern frog, reticulate wrinkled ground frog, and reticulated papillae-tongued frog have been coined for it.[1][2]

Description
Habitat and conservation
Ingerana reticulata has been found among rocks next to small rivers and brooks within tropical moist forest. Its altitudinal range is probably about 800–940 m (2,620–3,080 ft) above sea level. Development might be direct[1] (i.e, there is no free-living larval stage[6]), as in its relatives.[1]
Ingerana reticulata is a rare and poorly known species. There are no known threats to it. It is present in the Yarlung Tsangpo Nature Reserve.[1]
