Kaloula latidisca Chan, Grismer & Brown, 2014

Fig. 5C Wide-Disked Bull Frog

Examined specimens.

Five specimens (formerly identified as K. baleata) were collected from SRF consisted of juvenile (UMTZC1011, SVL = 20 mm) and adult males (UMTZC1310, UMTZC1316, UMTZC1464, and UMTZC1482, SVL = 35-64 mm).

Identification.

Morphological characters of the specimens agreed well with the description of northern populations from Peninsular Malaysia by Chan et al. (2014b). Size (SVL: 20 mm, n = 1 juvenile; 35-64 mm, n = 4 males); head wider than long; snout obtusely pointed; tympanum hidden; supratympanic fold present; limbs long and robust; digit tips expended into distinct discs lacking of circum-marginal grooves; toes webbed at base; subarticular tubercles distinct; inner metatarsal tubercle large and oval-shaped; outer metatarsal tubercle small and rounded; arm and limb insertion with yellowish patches (pale patches in preserved specimens); dorsum with black speckled marking.

Remarks.

Kaloula latidisca was frequently spotted on tree trunks around the open and recreational areas, and occasionally at the small streams of the Peres River at SRF. No calling was heard, but K. latidisca was typically found in mid-November and possibly until the end of the monsoon season. This species is a new record for the amphibians in Hulu Terengganu.
