摘要：

Rana subaquavocalis, a distinctive new leopard frog species of the Rana pipiens complex, is presently known only from the Huachuca Mountains of southeastern Arizona. It can be distinguished from other leopard frog species on the basis of morphology and mating call characteristics. Males are unusual in that they offer the mating call entirely underwater from a depth of more than a meter, making it completely inaudible in the air.
