Limnonectes liui is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Yunnan, China , but it likely occurs also in nearby Laos and Myanmar. The taxonomic placement of this species has been much debated and varies between sources.[2]
Limnonectes liui are relatively small frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 35 mm (1.4 in) and females to 33 mm (1.3 in).[3] They can be found in or near streams in forested areas. Males guard the eggs are laid in a hole in the ground covered with leaves. The eggs develop directly into small froglets.[1]
Limnonectes liui are threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture and infrastructure development for tourism.[1]
