This species was originally only known from its type locality in extreme northern Myanmar (Burma), specifically Putao County, Kachin State. Since then, its known distribution includes Yunnan Province, China, 133.7 km northeast of the type locality (Zhang et al 2022). Their discovery in China allowed the authors to provide expanded morphological and phylogenetic analysis of Amolops putaoensis.
