Figure 11

Materials examined. Just below Kijang Camp, 3 July 2019 (HC1012).

Identification. Tympanum visible but indistinct; finger tips expanded into truncated discs not bearing circummarginal grooves; fingers webbed at base; subarticular tubercles enlarged to form accessory adhesive pads, one each on the first and second fingers and two each on the third and fourth; prepollex conspicuous in males, not well developed in females; inner and outer metacarpal tubercles flat, indistinct; skin on dorsum rugose, covered with low ridges formed by low tubercles; venter smooth; dorsal color beige with irregular dark patches on back; limbs with dark crossbars. These characters are in agree- ment with Berry (1975).

Remarks. Two individuals were found at night in two separate water-filled treeholes that were 1 m and 2.5 m above ground at approximately 1000 m a.s.l. between Seroja and Kijang.
