Materials examined. Seroja Camp (04°39.415′N, 101° 16.333′E), 2 July 2019 (GKA050, 072–073); 4 July 2019 (HC1018).

Identification. Vomerine teeth present; a pair of boney, fang-like, mandibular processes anteriorly; tympanum distinct; skin on dorsum covered with dense, discontinu- ous, longitudinal ridges; flanks granular; dorsal surface of limbs with or without small, round tubercles bearing asperities; supratympanic fold distinct; dorsolateral fold absent; tarsal fold indistinct, flat; venter smooth; dorsum brown to reddish-brown; dark, chevron-shaped interor- bital bar, bordered anteriorly with a lighter one; limbs with indistinct crossbars; belly yellow. These characters are in agreement with Berry (1975).
