Materials examined. Between Kijang and Seroja Camps, 3 July 2019 (HC1007, 1019); Seroja Camp, 5 July 2019 (HC1024).

Identification. Vomerine teeth absent; inner metacarpal tubercle large, outer much smaller than inner; toes webbed at base; skin weakly shagreened, infused with small tubercles, flanks with larger tubercles; dorsal col- oration brown to gray with an interorbital bar; under- side of supratympanic fold dark brown; dark spots below canthus and sides of snout tip; chevron or W-shaped patch on middle of back and sacral region; dark brown spots/patches on flanks and sacral region; dark crossbars on hind limbs; iris rusty brown to red. These characters are in agreement with the original description of the spe- cies ( Matsui 2006).

Remarks. Frogs were mostly observed on low vegeta- tion along slow-moving streams. Surprisingly, we also observed two invidividuals on the ground. One was adja- cent to a small stream, while the other was found along a trail approximately 50 m from water. Males were heard calling during the night.
