Remarks. – These agree with Bain et al.’s (2003) original description by having males with SVL 46.7 – 60.0 (mean ± SD 55.4 ± 3.9, N = 10); males with gular pouches; females with uniformly pale yellow eggs; and weakly visible glandular dorsolateral folds. Females are much larger than males, with SVL 76.5– 108.7 (mean ± SD 96.0 ± 10.8, N = 10).
Specimens were collected at night on banks, rock faces, boulders, tree branches, and tree roots along and above swift rocky streams, often near cascades. The stomach of female FMNH 262798 (SVL 104.5) contained a large centipede and large wasp. The ovaries of FMNH 262800 (SVL 108.7) contained 2,966 eggs of approximately 2-3 mm diameter.
This is the first report of the species since its description from Gia Lai Province, Vietnam.
