Materials examined. Kijang Camp (04°40.482′N, 101° 16.788′E), 3 July 2019 (HC1003–06); Seroja Camp (04° 39.415′N, 101°16.333′E), 2 July 2019 (HC1022).
Identification. Tympanum visible; skin on dorsum sparsely covered with irregularly sized tubercles; tuber- cles on dorsolateral region and flanks enlarged; rictal tubercle slightly enlarged; dorsal color nearly uniform dark brown or black with a faint spot between the shoul- ders and whitish tubercles on lower flanks; yellowishbrown patch on proximal part or brachium, palm, elbow, knee, heel, and ankle; faint crossbars on forearms and hind limbs; iris gold. These characters are in agreement with the original description of the species ( Wood et al. 2008).
Remarks. Individuals were observed at night, perched on low vegetation along clean, slow flowing streams around Seroja and Kijang Camps. Individuals occurred as low as 750 m a.s.l near Seroja Camp and as high as 1100 m a.s.l at Kijang Camp. Because this species is associated with upland areas ( Wood et al. 2008), it is likely that it will also occur at higher elevations where habitat is suit- able, but not much lower than 700 m where the transition from hill to lowland dipterocarp forest occurs.
