The Ailao Toad (Bufo ailaoanus) is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. It is endemic to China. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes and rivers. It was discovered in the Ailaoshan National Nature Reserve in Yunnan. The toad was first described in 1984 and has not been seen since, as it is hard to find and thought to be rare.[1]
