Hylarana rufipes is a species of true frog in the genus Hylarana. It is found in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, though it probably has a wider distribution. It was split off from Hylarana chalconota in 2009 by Robert Inger and colleagues,[2] along with a number of other species.[1]

Description

Hylarana rufipes are moderately large frogs: adult males measure 44–48 mm (1.7–1.9 in) and females 54–64 mm (2.1–2.5 in) in snout–vent length. Body is slender and legs are long.[1]
