Examined specimens.

Two male specimens were collected from SRF (UMTZC1123 and UMTZC1628, SVL= 74-81 mm).

Identification.

Morphological characters of the specimens agreed well with the description by Grismer (2012). Size (SVL: 74-81 mm, n = 2 males); broad head; rounded snout projecting beyond lower jaw; lower jaws of males with two fang-like projections; upper eyelids with prominent and spiny tubercles; tympanum distinct; supratympanic distinct; dorsum smooth with W-shaped marking, small tubercles, and longitudinal folds. UMTZC1628 had fine and whitish vertebral line from snout to vent and along the upper side of thigh, while UMTZC1123 had no vertebral line on the back.

Remarks.

All specimens were collected from a small stream of the Peres River at SRF. Additional individuals of this species can be found on forest floors and stream banks of the small streams and recreational zones in SRF.
