Sylvirana maosonensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in the mountains of central and northeastern in Vietnam, Annamite Range in central Laos, and southern Guanxi, China.[1][2] Its common name is Mao-Son frog or Maoson frog, after its type locality in Vietnam.[2] It inhabits evergreen forests at elevations of 200–1,500 m (660–4,920 ft) above sea level. Individuals are typically found near streams on banks, leaf litter, and low in vegetation. Reproduction takes place in streams, ponds, and ditches. It is a locally common frog. Although International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) does not considered it threatened as a species, habitat loss and degradation are threats.[1]
