Abstract

Two field surveys were conducted in the Hai Ha forest, Quang Ninh Province, northeastern Vietnam in 2015 and 2016. Based on mophological examinations, we provide the first list of 27 anuran species from this area. Ten species are recorded for the first time from Quang Ninh Province. The anuran fauna of Hai Ha District also contains one species listed in the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable, two species listed in the Red Data Book of Vietnam as Endangered, and two other species endemic to Vietnam (Limnonectes quangninhensis and Quasipaa acanthophora).
