Odorrana exiliversabilis (Fujian bamboo-leaf frog) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family that is endemic to southeastern China where it is found in Fujian, western Zhejiang, and southern Anhui provinces.[2] These frogs can be found in mountain forest streams and are common in suitable habitat. The species is not considered threatened by the IUCN.[1]

Molecular genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA puts Odorrana exiliversabilis in the same clade with Odorrana tormota, Odorrana nasica, Odorrana nasuta, and Odorrana versabilis.[3]

Description

Males measure 43–52 mm (1.7–2.0 in) and females 52–62 mm (2.0–2.4 in) in snout–vent length. Tadpoles are up to 27 mm (1.1 in) in total length.[4]
