Nanorana feae (common names: Kakhien paa frog, ocellated spiny frog) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It is found in Yunnan, China, and the Kachin Hills in Myanmar.[2] The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.[3] This little-known species probably inhabits hill streams in forested areas.[1]

Nanorana feae are relatively large frogs, attaining a snout–vent length of about 92 mm (3.6 in).[4]
