Fejervarya triora is a species of frogs belonging to the family Dicroglossidae. Its type locality is in Phu Chong-Na Yoi National Park, Ubon Ratchathani Province in the far east of Thailand. It is also known from Mukdahan National Park in Mukdahan Province, and also Pha Taem National Park, Ubon Ratchathani Province. So far, it is only known from eastern Thailand, although it is not unlikely that it occurs in adjacent Laos too.[1][2] It has been found in a range of forested habitats.[3]

The tadpole is mostly dark brown with a yellow line on the lower part of the tail and the front two thirds of the ventral fin pale.[4]
