Limnonectes selatan Matsui, Belabut & Ahmad, 2014 View in CoL Figure 7

Materials examined. Seroja Camp (04°39.415′N, 101° 16.333′E), 2–4 July 2019 (GKR036–038,048–049, 075– 077, HC1041, 998).

Identification. Vomerine teeth present; a pair of boney, fang-like, mandibular processes anteriorly; tympanum indistinct; top of head smooth; anterior portion of dorsum rugose, covered with dense, low ridges; posterior covered with low tubercles forming interconnected ridges; flanks covered with rugose ridges lacking tuber- cles; enlarged tubercles on tibia and around the cloaca; dorsal coloration brown with indistinct dark spots and faint interorbital bar; fore and hindlimbs with irregular crossbars; flanks and venter creamish; throat mottled with pale gray. These characters are in agreement with the original description of the species ( Matsui et al. 2014)

Remarks. Numerous individuals were found in water or on rocks around shallow tributaries and trickling por- tions of the stream. Juveniles were also observed on low vegetation. We identified frogs as Limnonectes selatan , as opposed to its morphologically similar closest relative, L. utara , based on the presence of dense tubercles around the cloaca (as opposed to sparse) and dark blotches along the dorsoventral border of the outer thigh (absent in L. utara ; Matsui et al. 2014).
