Quasipaa spinosa
''Quasipaa spinosa'' is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is known under many common names, including Chinese spiny frog, giant spiny frog, Chinese edible frog, and spiny paa frog.〔 Its names refer to the distinctive characteristics of the species, relatively large size and the spiny chest of male frogs.〔〔 Giant in frog terms only, it can nevertheless grow to lengths above ; this makes it the largest frog in Hong Kong.〔〔
==Taxonomy==
Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have suggested that ''Quasipaa spinosa'' is split in three distinct lineages; the nominal ''Quasipaa spinosa'' may thus represent a cryptic species complex. The lineages are geographically distinct; one lineage is found in Yunnan, another one in southeastern China (Anhui, Zhejiang, northern Fujian, and Jiangxi), and the third one in south-central China (southern Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi). In this analysis, ''Quasipaa exilispinosa'' is nested within ''Quasipaa spinosa''.
The complete mitochondrial genome (18,012 base pairs in length) of ''Quasipaa spinosa'' has been sequenced, helping to shed light into the phylogeny of ''Quasipaa'' and related frogs.
