Limnonectes blythii (Boulenger, 1920)

Fig. 8 River frog

Notes.

The 273 individuals detected were primarily observed on the banks of rivers or edges of ponds and rocky riverbeds. The majority (225) were observed in both national park forest and human-disturbed forest areas. The individuals found in human-settlement areas were adjacent or within 25 m of a stream or marshy water source. Fig. 8 shows an individual on a bridge walkway above a stream on dormant party grounds inhabited by villagers.

Distribution.

The river frog is distributed throughout the island in or near stream or pond areas with individuals observed in five of the eight human-settlement transects, 10 of the 13 human-disturbed forest transects, and eight of the 11 in national park forest transects.
