There are currently only eleven species of Quasipaa (Anura: Dicroglossidae) distributed in southern and southwestern China to central Vietnam, southeastern Thailand, and southwestern Cambodia and presumably also in Laos (Frost 2020). Eight species of Quasipaa are currently known in China: Q. boulengeri (Günther 1889), Q. courtoisi (Angel 1922), Q. exilispinosa (Liu Hu 1975), Q. jiulongensis (Huang Liu 1985), Q. shini (Ahl 1930), Q. spinosa (David 1875), Q. yei (Chen, Qu, and Jiang 2002), and Q. verrucospinosa (Bourret 1937). The first seven species are endemic to China (AmphibiaChina 2020). These species have similar morphological traits and are capable of introgressive hybridization between the closely related species of this genus(Zhang et al. 2018). Despite the detailed acoustic analysis that is available to identify a variety of species and is beneficial to the study of anuran taxonomy (e.g., Microhyla species; Chen et al. 2020), advertisement calls have only been reported in detail for Q. spinosa (Yu Zheng 2009; Chen et al. 2012; Shen et al. 2015) and Q. shini (Kong et al. 2016), whereas the call for Q. exilispinosa was briefly described from observations in captivity (Voitel 2000).
目前，仅有 11 种奇异泛蟾（蛙形目：盘舌蟾科）分布于中国南部和西南部至越南北部、泰国东南部、柬埔寨西南部，推测老挝也有分布（Frost 2020）。中国目前已知有 8 种奇异泛蟾：巴氏泛蟾（Günther 1889）、陈氏泛蟾（Angel 1922）、棘胸泛蟾（Liu Hu 1975）、九龙泛蟾（Huang Liu 1985）、史氏泛蟾（Ahl 1930）、棘刺泛蟾（David 1875）、瑶山泛蟾（Chen, Qu, and Jiang 2002）和疣刺泛蟾（Bourret 1937）。前 7 种为中国特有种（AmphibiaChina 2020）。这些物种具有相似的形态特征，且在该属的近缘种之间存在种间杂交的能力（Zhang et al. 2018）。尽管有详细的声学分析可用于识别各种物种，且有利于蛙类分类学的研究（例如，Microhyla 种；Chen et al. 2020），但仅详细报道了棘刺泛蟾（Yu Zheng 2009；Chen et al. 2012；Shen et al. 2015）和史氏泛蟾（Kong et al. 2016）的鸣声，而关于棘胸泛蟾的鸣声则是根据圈养观察的结果进行了简要描述（Voitel 2000）。
