Nanorana annandalii (common names: Annandale's paa frog, Annandale's frog, Boulenger's hill frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal) and eastern Nepal. (Anderson, 1871) was until quite recently (2006) considered a synonym of Nanorana annandalii but is now treated as a separate species; this change confounds older records of Nanorana annandalii.[2] This species lives in rocky streams and brooks in montane forests. It can also be found near pools in forest clearings. It is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation).[1]
