Allopaa hazarensis (common names: Kashmir paa frog, Hazara frog, Hazara torrent frog ) is a species of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Hazara, Pakistan (where the type locality is, hence the name) and in Kashmir in India and Pakistan.[2] Its natural habitats are fast-flowing streams where it can occur both in torrential sections and in pools. Tadpoles use their oral disc as a sucker to hold on stones. Prolonged drought periods are a potential threat to this species.[1]
Whether Allopaa barmoachensis is a distinct species or a synonym of Allopaa hazarensis remains uncertain.[3]
