      <abstract>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Despite low anuran diversity, Pakistan possesses few endemic anuran species which merit researcher&amp;rsquo;s attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Nanorana vicina&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(&lt;em&gt;Paa vicina&lt;/em&gt;) is one of the least studied Pakistani anuran, since its first report and description in 1872, it has never been collected from its type locality. This species is believed to occur in northern Pakistan and northwestern India at high elevation. This frog has high conservation value as it is endemic to South-east Asian highland and has a high ED (Evolutionarily Distinct) and EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered) scores of 2.64 and 12.96, respectively. Recently we have collected two specimens from Aliot, Jheka Gali near type locality Murree, North Punjab, Pakistan. The area is hilly and rocky supporting subtropical moist high-altitude forest growths. The description of recently collected two specimens of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Nanorana vicina&lt;/em&gt; along with photographs of live specimens and data on morphometric measurements, habits, ecology and conservation status are given&lt;/p&gt;</abstract>
