Rana taipehensis van Denburgh

Material examined. – Keo Seima: FMNH 262784 , road through grassland and disturbed evergreen forest, 12°08'22.9"N 106°55'27.4"E, 165 m elev., 9 Dec.2003 .

Pichrada: FMNH 262064-65 , deciduous dipterocarp forest with grassy understorey, near 12°31'38"N 107°33'19"E, 600 m elev., 19 Jun.2000 .

Remarks. – A male (SVL 31.4, TMP:EYE 1.13) and two females (SVL 40.5-44.6; TMP:EYE 0.89-1.00) agree with van Denburgh’s (1909) original description. The specimens have the interorbital distance greater than the width of upper eyelid; a distinct, broad dorsolateral fold; male with small white asperities on dorsum; finger I equal in length to finger II; male with whitish nuptial pad on medial and dorsal surface of finger I from its base to level of the distal edge of the subarticular tubercle; toe IV webbed to distal subarticular tubercle; and an oval inner and round outer metatarsal tubercle.

In life, the dorsum was green and the dorsolateral folds yellow.

The male and one female were collected at night (2040 hrs.) in vegetation at the edge of a pond formed by water filling a bomb crater, and one female was collected at night (1813 hrs.) crossing a road.

Ohler et al. (2002) reported the species from the mountains of southwestern Cambodia.
