Limnonectes utara Matsui, Belabut & Ahmad, 2014

Fig. 4G Warty River Frog

Examined specimen.

One male specimen was collected from SLF (UMTZC1964, SVL = 49 mm).

Identification.

Morphological character of the specimen agreed well with the description by Matsui et al. (2014). Size (SVL: 49 mm, n = 1 male); obtusely pointed snout; head longer than broad; tympanum almost visible; supratympanic fold distinct; finger tips bluntly rounded; first finger slightly longer than second; nuptial pad present on first finger and second finger of males; toes webbed at base; subarticular tubercles oval-shaped; inner metatarsal tubercle large; outer metatarsal tubercle absent; dorsum smooth; less densely arranged circum-cloacal warts; tibia surface densely covered by warts; dark blotches absent on rear thigh.

Remarks.

Information of L. utara from SLF is limited to a specimen and photograph of a dead specimen, as it was contributed through recent undergraduate sampling. This species was previously reported as Limnonectes cf. kuhlii in SRF.
