Resumo

We provide a checklist of 45 species of amphibians from Lai Chau Province, northwestern Vietnam. Thirteen of species are recorded for the first time from Lai Chau Province; these include four species of Dicroglossidae, four species of Megophryidae, three species of Ranidae, and two species of Rhacophoridae. We also provide descriptions of the newly recorded species. The amphibian fauna of Lai Chau Province is of high conservation concern, with three species endemic to Vietnam, 10 species listed in the IUCN Red List, and two species listed in the Red Data Book of Vietnam.
