Examined specimens.

Twenty-four specimens were previously collected from SAP (Males: UMTZC1391, UMTZC1396, UMTZC1397, and UMTZC1598, SVL = 14-40 mm; Female: UMTZC1497, SVL = 50 mm), and SRF (Males: UMTZC1002, UMTZC1019, UMTZC1048, UMTZC1049, UMTZC1088, UMTZC1089, UMTZC1150, UMTZC1215, UMTZC1216, UMTZC1229, UMTZC1230, UMTZC1239, and UMTZC1259, SVL = 23-45 mm; Females: UMTZC1003, UMTZC1058, UMTZC1087, UMTZC1122, UMTZC1151, and UMTZC1324, SVL = 49-58 mm).

Identification.

Morphological characters of the specimens agreed well with the description of Berry (1975) and Sumarli et al. (2015). Size (SVL: 23-45 mm, n = 17 males; 49-58 mm, n = 7 females); vomerine teeth in two oblique series between choanae; head moderate; pointed snout; tympanum distinct; supratympanic fold distinct; first finger longer than second; fingers lacking fringes of skin; finger tips blunt; pointed toe tips; inner and outer metatarsal tubercle with oval-shaped; male specimens with nuptial pads on dorsal portion of first finger; dorsum skin with longitudinal skin folds.

Remarks.

This species was ubiquitous in cleared and disturbed areas of SLF and is considered as commensal species of frog in this area. Most of the collected specimens were found on the grassy fields and in puddles. Active calling can be heard after the rains.
