## Abstract ## Background The Hekou Torrent Frog (__Amolopsshihaitaoi__) was recently discovered from southern China and northern Vietnam in 2022. The knowledge about natural history and feeding ecology of this species is virtually lacking. ## New information Based on our recent fieldwork in northern Vietnam, we report a new population of __A.shihaitaoi__ from Ha Giang Province. In this study, we provide novel data on the diet of __A.shihaitaoi__, 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 __A.shihaitaoi__. The dominant prey items of the species were Hymenoptera (Formicidae), Orthoptera (Acrididae), Lepidoptera (Lepidoptera other), Mantodea (Mantidae) and Araneae. The importance index (Ix) of prey categories ranged from 7.1% to 11.5%. Hymenoptera (Formicidae) had the highest frequency of prey items, found in 36 stomachs.
