Fig. 8 False Doria’s fanged frog

Notes.

This species was observed in or around rocky stream habitat. Eggs were observed on land at the edge of a pool of standing water at a leveled area of a rocky stream wash in national park forest. This newly described species has been documented on only three islands, Ko Pha-ngan, Ko Samui, and Ko Lanta ( Yodthong et al. 2021). The individuals observed in the human-settlement area were in a flooded stream area between a house and small pond.

Distribution.

This species was detected primarily in rocky river systems. Individuals were detected in one of the eight human-settlement transects, three of the 13 human-disturbed forest transects and five of the 11 national park forest transects.
