Limnonectes deinodon Dehling, 2014

Class: Amphibia > Order: Anura > Family: Dicroglossidae > Subfamily: Dicroglossinae > Genus: Limnonectes > Species: Limnonectes deinodon

Limnonectes deinodon Dehling, 2014, Sauria, Berlin, 36: 18. Holotype: BMNH 1974.4661, by original designation. Type locality: "Ostgrat (2500 Fuß = 762 m) des Gunung Lawit, Terengganu-Staat, Malaysia" [= East Ridge (2500 ft = 762 m) of Gunung Lawit, Terengganu State, Malaysia].

Common Names

Flat-headed Corrugated Frog (Hui, Ngadi, Md-Zain, Md-Zairi, and Abdul-Latiff, 2020, Biodiversitas, 21: 2426).

Malayan Fanged Frog (Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 24).

Rivulet Frog (Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 252).

Distribution

Peninsular Malaysia (and associated Pulau Tinggi) into peninsular Thailand (see comment).

Geographic Occurrence

Natural Resident: Malaysia, Malaysia, West (Peninsular), Thailand

Comment

In the original publication (p. 29), the authors suggested that populations of nominal Limnonectes khasianus from peninsular Thailand are in reality assignable to Limnonectes deinodon (e.g., see Matsui and Nishikawa, 2014, Curr. Herpetol., Kyoto, 33: 135–147, which provided a molecular tree including this species as Limnonectes khasianus). Hui, Ngadi, Md-Zain, Md-Zairi, and Abdul-Latiff, 2020, Biodiversitas, 21: 2425–2429, reported the species from Pulau Tinggi, off the southeastern coast of peninsular Malaysia. Shahriza and Jaafar, 2014, Check List, 10: 253–259, provided a photograph and brief natural history observations for a population (as Limnonectes laticeps) in Kedah, West Malaysia.Older literature for Limnonectes laticeps and Limnonectes khasianus from peninsular Malaysia and adjacent Thailand presumably refer to this species according to Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 23. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 116-117, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph (as Limnonectes laticeps). Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 252–253, provided a brief account (photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). See comment under Limnonectes khasianus for access to other relevant literature. Hong, Anuar, Grismer, and Quah, 2021, Check List, 17: 794, reported the species from Batu Hampar Recreational Forest, Kedah, West Malaysia.
