Rana dabieshanensis is a species of true frog that was discovered in the Dabie Mountains in Anhui, China through genetic analysis and morphology.[2]
It is a somewhat large, golden to light brown frog. The SVL in female specimens was between 5.3 and 6.83 cm (2.09 and 2.69 in) however, only 2 female specimens were measured. The SVL in the 8 measured males was between 50.9 and 62.8 cm (20.0 and 24.7 in). The tympanum is slightly darker than the rest of the frog. The dorsolateral folds (the lines from the back of the eye towards the posterior end) are obvious. Thin, inconspicuous bands can be found on the legs. The coloration of the dorsal side (the back) is dependent on the environment. The belly is white and has some small black spots.[2]
