Leptobrachella pluvialis (sometimes referred to as the rainy litter toad[3]) is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is only known from its type locality, Fansipan mountain range in northern Vietnam, although it is expected to be found also in adjacent Yunnan, China.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical moist montane forests and rivers. Its status is insufficiently known.[1]
