Materials examined. BetweenKijangandSerojaCamps, 2–3 July 2019 (GKA078–079, HC1008–10).
Identification. Vomerine teeth absent; tympanum indistinct, obscured by skin; finger tips expanded into large, horizontally elongated discs bearing circummarginal and transverse-ventral grooves; skin on dorsum finely granular with irregularly distributed, indistinct, tuber- cles and short ridges; supratympanic fold present; entire ventral surface including palm and sole of feet coarsely granular; dorsal color variable shades of brown from creamy to dark brown; dorsolateral stripe from behind the eye to the anal or groin region, usually forming an hour-glass shape on the back; limbs with indistinct cross- bars; venter mottled grayish brown. These characters are in agreement with Berry (1975) and Wostl et al. (2017).
Remarks. Frogs were encountered on leaves approxi- mately 1.5 m above ground near small streams or along trails far from water. Frogs were found as low as 850 m a.s.l. near Seroja and more frequently at higher eleva- tions around Kijang.
