The Medog horned toad (Megophrys medogensis), or Medog spadefoot toad, is a species of frog in the family Megophryidae. It was described as a subspecies of Omei horned toad (Megophrys omeimontis) based on specimens collected from Mêdog County, Tibet (China); it is still only known from its type locality.[2] It probably has a wider distribution that may reach India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers.[1]
