Ansonia longidigita (common names: long-fingered slender toad, long-fingered stream toad) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. [1] [3] [4] It is endemic to northern and western Borneo in Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia) and in Brunei. [3]
The specific name longidigita means "long-fingered" [4] and refers to the long and slender fingers of the species. [2] Males measure 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in) whereas females can grow to 70 mm (2.8 in) in snout–vent length. [4] It has a slender habitus. The tympanum is distinct. Dorsal skin has numerous small, round warts. [2]
Tadpoles are very small, commonly less than 15 mm (0.59 in) in length. They have dark blotches on cream background colour. [4]
Ansonia longidigita is a common toad inhabiting mid-elevation hills. [4] Adults live on the forest floor or low in the vegetation. [1] They breed in small, clear brooks and streams with rocky bottom. [1] [4] Males call from the stream boulders or from vegetation by the stream. [4]
The species is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging, and the siltation of streams that logging leads to. [1]
