Nanorana minica (common names: Nepal paa frog, tiny frog, small paa frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northern India (Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh) and in western and eastern Nepal.[2] It is a fairly common species found in subtropical montane forest and streams. It is threatened by habitat loss through the localized clearance of forest.[1] Tadpoles of this N. minica has been reported to overwinter in the streams.[3] Stream flow management and subsequent habitat modification by check dams is one of the threats[1] the species is facing and check dams have been found to influence the overwintering tadpoles' behavior, habitat use patterns and morphometric traits.[4][5]
