Hyla annectans (Jerdon, 1870)

Hyla annectans is a species of tree frog found in southwestern and central China, northeast India (Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunchal Pradesh and Nagaland), northern Myanmar, extreme northern Thailand and Viet Nam. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest in Southeast Asia, especially in areas between known sites. It is known from elevations between 600-2,500m asl.
