Hylarana spinulosa, also known as fine-spined frog and spiny frog, is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is endemic to Hainan, southern China.[2] It occurs in tropical forests at elevations of 80–840 m (260–2,760 ft) above sea level. Breeding takes place in pools and slow-flowing streams.[1]
Hylarana spinulosa are medium-sized frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of 40 mm (1.6 in) and females to 52 mm (2.0 in). Tadpoles are up to 37 mm (1.5 in) in length.[3]
