Kalophrynus interlineatus (Blyth, 1855)

( Fig. 7 )

Material examined. – LSUHC 7819 : Che Teal Chrum, 5 Aug.2006 .

Remarks. – An adult male generally matches the diagnosis of this taxon by Parker (1934) and that of two specimens from eastern Cambodia (Stuart et al., 2006) in having the second finger longer than the fourth; fourth finger well developed; nostrils located near the tip of the snout; and a vertebral stripe forming a narrow line commencing on the tip of the snout. It differs from their diagnoses in having the third and fifth toes being equal in length as opposed to the third toe being longer than the fifth and all the toes (except the fourth) are at least one-half webbed as opposed to having less webbing.

The specimen was collected at night while calling from the base of shrubs fringing an open grassy area containing temporary rain pools. Matsui et al. (1996) elevated Kalophrynus interlineatus from subspecific status within K. pleurostigma on the basis of its distinctive call. The two species appear to be allopatric ( Matsui et al., 1996; Chanard, 2003). Ohler et al. (2002) and Long et al. (2001) report K. interlineatus from the central and northeastern Cardamoms.
