For a number of forms we are able to provide only preliminary identification, however we present the data on their exact localities. Specific identity of some frogs is sometimes under discussion that is explained by not the complete investigation of the region and complicated taxonomical situation in a number of groups.

       

According to our experience every field trip to the remote areas of mountain forests with rich hydrological net usually brings new discoveries and new records of these frogs.
