The knowledge about natural history and feeding ecology of this species is virtually lacking.<h4>New information</h4>Based on our recent fieldwork in northern Vietnam, we report a new population of <i>A.shihaitaoi</i> from Ha Giang Province. In this study, we provide novel data on the diet of <i>A.shihaitaoi</i>, based on stomach content analyses of 36 individuals (17 males and 19 females). A total of 36 prey categories with 529 items, comprising 515 items of invertebrates and 14 unidentified items, were found in the stomachs of <i>A.shihaitaoi</i>. The dominant prey items of the species were Hymenoptera (Formicidae), Orthoptera (Acrididae), LepidopBiodiversity data journale104316https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10199336biostudies-literatureNew record and dietary ecology of a poorly known frog, <i>Amolopsshihaitaoi</i> Wang, Li, Du, Hou & Yu, 2022 (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae), from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam.PMC10199336Nguyen TTPham AVNguyen TSiliyavong SHoang NVfalseNew record and dietary ecology of a poorly known frog, <i>Amolopsshihaitaoi</i> Wang, Li, Du, Hou & Yu, 2022 (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae), from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam.<h4>Background</h4>The Hekou Torrent Frog (<i>Amolopsshihaitaoi</i>) was recently discovered from southern China and northern Vietnam in 2022.
