Species: Rana luteiventris

G - 200,000-2,500,000 square km (about 80,000-1,000,000 square miles) - G - Extreme southeastern Alaska, southwestern Yukon (Slough 2002), northern British Columbia, and western Alberta south through Washington east of the Cascades, eastern Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana to Nevada (disjunct, Mary's, Reese, and Owyhee river systems), southwestern Idaho (disjunct), Utah (disjunct, Wasatch Mountains and west desert), and western and north-central (disjunct) Wyoming (Green et al. 1996, 1997; Stebbins 2003). Disjunct populations occur on isolated mountains and in arid-land springs. Elevational range extends from near sea level to about 3,048 meters (10,000 feet) (Stebbins 2003).<br><br>The Wasatch Front population (<i>R. luteiventris</i> pop. 1) occurs in isolated springs or riparian wetlands in Juab, Sanpete, Summit, Utah, Tooele, and Wasatch counties; extirpated from the Salt Lake Valley and tributaries to the Jordan River and Great Salt Lake (USFWS 2002). Currently, there are seven localized populations that comprise the Wasatch Front population or DPS. The largest known concentration is currently in the Heber Valley; the remaining six locations are Jordanelle/Francis, Springville Hatchery, Holladay Springs, Mona Springs Complex/Burraston Ponds, Fairview, and Vernon (USFWS 2002).<br><br>The West Desert (Bonneville) population (<i>R. luteiventris</i> pop. 2) occurs in eastern Nevada and western Utah, mainly in two large spring complexes, with several additional concentrations in smaller nearby springs; it is extiprated from the northern portions of the historical range.<br><br>The Great Basin population (<i>R. luteiventris</i> pop. 3) occurs in southwestern Idaho, southeastern Oregon, and Nevada; it includes all Nevada populations of <i>R. luteiventris</i> except a small population on the eastern border of White Pine County, which is included in the West Desert population.
