Pulchrana banjarana is a species of true frogs in the genus Hylarana. It is endemic to the Malay Peninsula, occurring from the extreme southern Thailand to Peninsular Malaysia;[1][2] it might occur also in Sumatra (Indonesia).[1] It inhabits streams in highland and montane tropical forests at elevations of 700–1,300 m (2,300–4,300 ft) above sea level. Males call from the sides of forest streams while perched low on fallen branches or live vegetation, or on sandy banks or leaf-litter. The tadpole occur in slow-flowing stream section with sandy bottom. It is becoming rare, but it is not yet considered threatened by the IUCN.[1]
