Uphill tree frog, Long-snouted treefrog, Annandale's high altitude frog
Kurixalus naso, also known as uphill tree frog, long-snouted treefrog, and Annandale's high altitude frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in northeastern India, southern Tibet, and Bhutan. A related but unnamed species is found in Myanmar and Yunnan (China). Furthermore, it is possible that Kurixalus yangi (Yunnan, Myanmar, and NE India) is a junior synonym of Kurixalus naso.
