Nanorana ercepeae (common names: torrent paa frog, R.C.P.'s paa frog) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It is endemic to western Nepal.[2] This relatively rare frog is found in stream habitats in upland temperate rainforests. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by small-scale agricultural development and wood extraction.[1]
