Abstract


Two ranid species, Babina lini and Hylarana menglaensis, are recorded for the first time from Vietnam on the basis of a new amphibian collection from Dien Bien and Son La provinces. In addition, acoustic analyses of these species are also provided based on the advertisement calls recorded in Muong Nhe Nature Reserve of Dien Bien Province.

Keywords


Babina lini, Hylarana menglaensis, new records, advertisement calls, Dien Bien Province, Son La Province
