Amolops viridimaculatus (common names: green-spotted torrent frog, Dahaoping sucker frog, Dahaoping cascade frog) is a species of frog found in Yunnan, China, northern Vietnam, northern Myanmar, and Nagaland, India; it is expected to occur in Laos too.[2] Male frogs measure 75 mm (3.0 in) and females frogs 88 mm (3.5 in) in length.[3]
A. viridimaculatus is becoming rare due to habitat loss due to small-scale agriculture and dam development.[1]
