Fig. 3B Mossy Stream Toad

Examined specimens.

Three males were collected from SRF (UMTZC1527 and UMTZC1991, SVL = 15-24 mm) and SAP (UMTZC1615, SVL = 26 mm).

Identification.

Morphological characters of the specimens agreed well with the description by Chan et al. (2014a). Size (SVL: 15-26 mm, n = 3 males); distinct tympanum; snout projecting beyond lower jaw; snout wider than long; paratoid gland absent; interorbital ridges absent; large yellow rectal tubercles behind tympanum; limbs with yellow cross bars; venter surface pale grey with fine white spotting; first finger much shorter than second; no dorsolateral row of tubercles; dorsum blackish with greenish-yellow reticulations; and flank with small yellow spots.

Remarks.

Ansonia lumut was first collected from the Bubu River in SAP by Davis et al. (2016) (LSUHC 11212-13), and a second specimen (UMTZC1615) was collected in the same place during recent surveys. For the Peres River, two specimens were collected from a small stream area (UMTZC1527) and in drift-fenced pitfalls (UMTZC1991). This stream-dwelling species was found on substrates such as granite rock covered with moss, low vegetation at steep edges of the stream, and collected as well in pitfall traps.
