Nanorana taihangnica, or the Taihangshan swelled-vented frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae.[2][3] It is endemic to central China. Its type locality is on the Taihang Mountains, within the Jiyuan city in Henan province of central China.[1][3] It is now also reported from Qin, Funiu and Zhongtiao Mountains (these can all be interpreted as being part of the greater Qin Mountains Region[4]), with its distribution also including Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. There is substantial differentiation among lineages from different mountains.[3][4]
Little is known about this relatively recently described species inhabiting rivers and surrounding forests.[1]
