Imienpo Station frog
The Imienpo Station frog, Glandirana emeljanovi, is a species of frog found in Northeast Asia. It has sometimes been regarded as a subspecies of the Japanese wrinkled frog, "Glandirana rugosa", with which it shares many characteristics. It is found throughout the Korean Peninsula and adjacent northeast China. It is speculated to be or have been present in the Russian Primorye region as well, but attempts to find it there have been unsuccessful.
The Imienpo Station frog is found at low elevations, from 100
found species such as the Korean brown frog and Imienpo Station frog, which were previously considered to be Korean varieties or subspecies of more widespread species, to be distinct. It has also included a wholesale revision of the taxonomy of the Ranidae, or true frogs—for example, the common dark-spotted frog was formerly classified as "Rana nigromaculata" but is now classified as "Pelophylax nigromaculatus".
