Note sur la systématique et la répartition des Amphibiens Anoures de Chine et des régions avoisinantes. I. Rana exilispinosa Liu & Hu, 1975 et Rana (Paa ) paraspinosa Dubois, 1975

This is the first of a series of papers dealing with the systematics and the distribution of the Anuran Amphibians of China and of neighbouring regions. Rana (Paa ) paraspinosa Dubois, 1975, from Hong Kong, is shown to be synonymous of Rana exilispinosa Liu & Hu, 1975, from central Fujian. This species was also found in ancient collection from northern Fujian. A map is given showing the localities where this species has been collected as yet.
