It is found in western Greece, including Kerkyra, and the southern areas of Albania. The species is collected from the wild for human consumption. DescriptionLike most frogs, Epirus water frogs show sexual dimorphism. Males can grow to {{convert|2.9|in|mm}} in length, with females growing larger to {{convert|3.3|in|mm}}. The dorsal side is typically green with irregular black spots. The underside is pale. Male vocal sacs are olive aside from mating season, when they can turn a dark gray. Distribution and habitatThe species occurs in Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, rivers, swamps, freshwater lakes and marshes, and plantations. It is threatened by habitat loss, and is classified as vulnerable as populations within its relatively small range are fragmented.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite journal | author = Uzzell, T. | author2 = Lymberakis, P. | author3 = Haxhiu, I. | title = Pelophylax epeiroticus | journal = IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume= 2009 | page = e.T58592A11793456 | publisher = IUCN | year = 2009 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/58592/0 | accessdate = 5 July 2016| doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2009.RLTS.T58592A11793456.en }} {{Taxonbar|from=Q1347307}}{{Ranidae-stub}} 4 : Pelophylax|Amphibians of Europe|Amphibians described in 1984|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
