Materials examined. Seroja Camp (04°39.415′N, 101° 16.333′E), 2–4 July 2019 (GKA006–011, 019, 053–058, 081, HC1042–44, 1029–32); between Seroja and Kijang Camps, 3 July 2019 (HC1001).

Identification. Vomerine teeth present; tympanum small, naked or partially covered with skin; finger tips expanded into large, horizontally elongated discs bearing transverse-dorsal, transverse-ventral, and circum-marginal grooves; skin on dorsum granular or rugose; dorsolateral surface covered with indistinct, large, flat, oval tuber- cles and/or short, low, longitudinal ridges; flanks more coarsely granular than dorsum, covered with similar low, oval tubercles of smaller size; dorsal color brown or grayish green with large, dark, oval, blotches which sometimes connect to form a network; flanks yellow- ish; limbs with wide crossbars; venter whitish with dark streaks on the gular and pectoral region. These characters are in agreement with Chan et al. (2018).

Remarks. Frogs were observed on rocks, debris, or low vegetation within and along most slow- to moderately swift-flowing streams. These frogs were the most ubiq- uitous frogs observed. Males were encountered more fre- quently than females.
