Leptolalax ventripunctatus (known as Yunnan Asian toad or more elaborately, speckle-bellied metacarpal-tubercled toad) is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is known from Mengla County in Yunnan, southern China , from Phongsaly Province in northern Laos, and from Tam Dao in northern Vietnam.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical moist lowland forests and rivers. Its status is insufficiently known.[1]

Leptolalax ventripunctatus is a small species: males grow to snout-vent length of about 26.5 mm (1.04 in). Tadpoles are larger in terms of length, 48–50 mm (1.9–2.0 in).[3]
