It is found in northeastern India, southern Tibet (China), and eastern Nepal, and likely in the adjacent western Bhutan.[1][2] The specific name blanfordii honours William Thomas Blandford, a British geologist and zoologist.[5]DescriptionNanorana blanfordii are medium-sized frogs, though relatively small among their closest relatives:[6] adult males measure {{convert|39|-|47|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} and adult females {{convert|39|-|56|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is not very distinct. The finger and toe tips bears discs; the toes are webbed. The dorsum is grey-brown and has some black markings with white margins. There are two black triangular marks between the eyes. The underparts are white.The tadpoles are up to {{convert|52|mm|abbr=on}} in length.[6] Habitat and conservationNanorana blanfordii occurs in small streams and the surrounding grassland and temperate forest at elevations of {{convert|2600|–|3400|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. Breeding takes place in streams, and the eggs are laid in water under stones.[1]Nanorana blanfordii is rare in China, whereas its population size is unknown elsewhere. Threats to it are unknown. It occurs in the Yadong National Nature Reserve in Tibet.[1]References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite journal | author = Fei Liang | author2 = Michael Wai Neng Lau | author3 = Sushil Dutta | author4 = Annemarie Ohler | author5 = Tej Kumar Shrestha | title = Nanorana blanfordii | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2004 | page = e.T58419A11777848 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2004 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/58419/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2004.RLTS.T58419A11777848.en | access-date = 3 January 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite book |last1 = Beolens | first1 = Bo | last2 = Watkins | first2 = Michael | last3 = Grayson | first3 = Michael |last-author-amp=yes |title=The Eponym Dictionary of Amphibians |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QJY3BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA24 |date=2013 |publisher=Pelagic Publishing |isbn=978-1-907807-42-8 |page=24}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book |title=Atlas of Amphibians of China |last=Fei |first=L. |year=1999 |publisher=Henan Press of Science and Technology |location=Zhengzhou | language = Chinese |isbn=7-5349-1835-9 |pages=210–212}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Dicroglossidae/Dicroglossinae/Nanorana/Nanorana-blanfordii |title=Nanorana blanfordii (Boulenger, 1882) |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2018 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.
