Hylarana chalconota is a species of true frog in the genus Hylarana native to Indonesia. It is commonly known as Schlegel's frog, the brown stream frog, the copper-cheeked frog, and the white-lipped frog.[1]
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, plantations, rural gardens, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land.
Formerly known as Rana chalconota, that taxon was applied to what is today named Hylarana raniceps. In the 1990s, it became generally agreed that Hylarana raniceps applied to specimens in northern and western Sumatra, Peninsula Malaysia and Borneo. Hylarana chalconota's range is limited to Southern Sumatra, Java and Bali
