Examined specimens.

Three adult male specimens were collected from SRF (UMTZC1425 and UMTZC1426, SVL = 29-30 mm) and SAP (UMTZC1601, SVL = 35 mm).

Identification.

Morphological characters of the specimens agreed well with the description by Berry (1975). Size (SVL: 29-35 mm, n = 3 males); no vomerine teeth; head longer than broad; snout obtusely pointed; vertical loreal region; tympanum distinct; digit tips expanded into round or oval-shaped discs; inner metatarsal tubercle oval-shaped, outer metatarsal tubercle absent; dorsum bright orange with whitish spots scattered over the body; limbs with rows of whitish spots forming cross-bars; abdomen with greenish black reticulation.

Remarks.

UMTZC1601 was found on low vegetation, less than 1 m from the ground near the suspension bridge at SAP, and UMTZC1426 and UMTZC1425 were found at bushy areas within a small stream off the Peres River in SRF. This species is a new record for the amphibians in Hulu Terengganu.
