Nanorana conaensis (Cona paa frog, Cona spiny frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Its name refers to its type locality, Mama in Cona County in Tibet.[2] Note that while large parts of Cona County are located within Arunachal Pradesh in the area that is controlled by India but claimed by China , Mama is on the Tibetan side of the border.[3] It has recently been reported also from Bhutan.[2][4] Its natural habitats are subtropical moist montane forest, high-altitude shrubland, and rivers.[1]

Nanorana conaensis are medium-sized frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 58 mm (2.3 in) and females to 55 mm (2.2 in). Tadpoles are up to 65 mm (2.6 in) in length.[5]
