Nidirana adenopleura is a species of frog in the family Ranidae.[2][3] It is found in Taiwan, south-eastern China, and in the Yaeyama Islands (Ryukyu Islands, Japan). Populations from Yaeyama Islands might represent a distinct, as yet undescribed species. The records from Vietnam and Thailand are uncertain.[2]
Nidirana adenopleura is a medium-sized frog growing to 4.5 centimetres (1.8 in) snout-vent length. Upper surfaces are light brown to brownish green; the underside is whitish. There is a light golden brown line running from the tip of nostril backward through the upper eyelid and along the dorsolateral fold to the hip. The upper jaw has a yellow stripe. The sides of the body are light brown to grayish brown, with some dark markings. The iris is golden above and reddish golden below.[3]
Reproductive season is from March to September. Males have a loud advertisement call and start calling after sunset, and may keep on calling whole night, even continuing after sunrise. Females lay eggs near pond margins.[3]
Nidirana adenopleura's natural habitats are paddy fields, marshes, ditches, ponds, and lakes with abundant submerged vegetation at low elevations.[1][3] It is a common species not considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), although habitat destruction and degradation are probably threats.[1]
