Oreolalax is a genus of amphibian in the family Megophryidae.[1][2] They are mostly endemic to southwestern China, with one species in northern Vietnam (Oreolalax sterlingae),[1][3] and possibly extending into adjacent Laos. There is also a population in Arunachal Pradesh (Northeast India) that has not yet been assigned to a species,[1] although it might rather be a Scutiger.[3]
