Its name refers to the type locality in Fujian province of China. It is also found in Hunan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi in China as well as in Taiwan. Other sources give a somewhat broader distribution.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Large-headed Frog sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 202 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 11th most-seen of the 18 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Large-headed Frog in Taipei on a given day, against about 10% in December to May, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fujian Large-headed Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Taipei (202 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
